Ostrobotnia

Ostrobotnia is a restaurant housed in a protected building from 1912 in the Etu-Töölö area, spanning multiple floors. The ground floor contains Restaurant Manala and St. Urho's Pub, where visitors can find a wide selection of beers.

The building was constructed in 1912 and has served as a gathering space since its creation. It was the site of significant political moments in Finnish history.

The building serves as a meeting place for Finnish student organizations, particularly those representing people from the Ostrobothnia region who study at the University of Helsinki. This connection shapes how the space functions and who gathers there today.

The venue spans multiple levels, so visitors can explore different areas by moving through the building. St. Urho's Pub and its beer selection are easily accessible, providing a good introduction to the space.

The location witnessed a secret meeting in 1914 that marked a turning point in the Finnish independence movement. Years later, an important political speech also took place there, underscoring the site's significance for national events.
