The housing block includes five dwelling buildings in their original places, as well as four courtyard buildings. The dwelling buildings have been furnished with apartments that depict years between 1882 and 1973. You can also find a public sauna, a bakery, a cobbler’s workshop, a grocery store, as well as a paper and haberdashery store from the area.

Rajaportti Sauna – Oldest Public Sauna in Finland

Rajaportti sauna in Pispala, Tampere, is the oldest public sauna in Finland still in use. Built 1906. Separate departments for men and women. A preheated, massive stove. A long-lasting, sturdy löyly, that is the sauna spirit. Also a coffee house and services of a massotherapist available.

Rajaportti Sauna has remained more or less unchanged through decades. Here you can experience a genuine time travel to the past while entering the best sauna ever. Actually, the only change in facilities worth mentioning was made in 1930’s by erecting a wall to separate men’s washroom from women’s. This sauna, still heated by wood in traditional manner, was established in 1906 and has since offered memorable sauna bathing for Tampere dwellers as well as visitors from near and far.

The massive masonry stove makes the heart of the sauna. Meter-long logs are needed to make the stones, in all weighing over a ton, to glow and sparkle in red. After the fire is out, water is thrown over the stones to remove remains of carbon monoxide, then the lids of the funnel are shut, and the heat is getting smooth and steady, the stove calms down. Löyly, the heat and the spirit of the sauna, spreads out and lasts for the whole of the evening. First somewhat stern and dry, the löyly gets more gentle, moist and supple later in the evening.

In each dressing room there is space for 15-20 persons at a time, and approximately 12 in the sauna room itself. We do not want any haste in the sauna and therefore appreciate that mobile phones will be shut when entering the sauna zone. Sauna bath with other sauna fellows, whether new acquaintances or old friends of yours, is an essential part of a visit to a public sauna and may makes your sauna visit all the more pleasant and interesting experience.

Sauna-Restaurant Kuuma

Kuuma offers social, cozy “living room for everybody” in a New-Nordic style.

You can experience the hottest löyly sensations either in our wood-heated sauna or the modern smoke sauna. The wood-heated sauna might be more of a traditional type of experience for the first-time sauna-goers, whereas the smoke sauna can give the experienced sauna enthusiasts a chance to step up a notch.

There are two public mixed saunas at Kuuma, where you can come with a friend or by yourself to relax. The bigger one is the smoke sauna and the smaller of our saunas is a traditional wood-heated sauna.

An essential part of the experience for all senses that Kuuma offers, is delicious food. Our menu is created by a local gift to the Finnish kitchen, Eero Mäkelä.

The Kuuma food philosophy is based on pure Nordic tastes, spiced up with some small, surprising twists. The menu changes according to the season.
