Qwensel House

The Qwensel House, the oldest wooden house in Turku, Finland, dates back to around 1700 and is a remarkable example of bourgeois housing from the autarchic era. Originally built in an area designated for nobility, it now serves as the Turku Pharmacy Museum and café. Visitors can explore the 19th-century pharmacy, which includes the oldest surviving pharmacy interior in Finland, along with a collection of pharmacy utensils and exhibitions on pharmaceutical history. The museum also offers interactive experiences, such as studying herbal remedies at the Children's Pharmacy, making it an engaging destination for both tourists and researchers.
