Its construction began in 1914 on the former lands of Hatanpää Manor.Louhivaara 1999, p. 112. (in Finnish) The stone church, opened in 1932, is located in Viinikka. Viinikka's main streets are Viinikankatu in a north–south direction and Kuokkamaantie in a west–east direction from Lempääläntie to Nekala. The original name of Viinikankatu in 1939–1956 was Hervannantie, but the name was considered misleading because Hervanta is located quite far from the Viinikka district.

Ahlmanintie, on the east side of Viinikankatu, is named after Gabriel Ahlman (1737–1799), an assessor who owned the Hatanpää Manor in the late 18th century. The land register of 1540 men ...

Lake Iides
A lake is an area filled with water, localized in a basin, surrounded by land, and distinct from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean, although, like the much larger oceans, they do form part of the Earth's water cycle. Lakes are distinct from lagoons, which are generally coastal parts of the ocean. Lakes are typically larger and deeper than ponds, which also lie on land, though there are no official or scientific definitions. Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which usually flow in a channel on land. Most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams. Natural lakes are generally found in mountainous areas, rift zones, and areas with ongoing glaciation. Other lakes are found in endorheic basins or along the courses of mature rivers, where a river channel has widened into a basin. Some parts of the world have many lakes formed by the chaotic drainage patterns left over from the last ice ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
