Tilkka

Tilkka is a historically significant former military hospital located in Helsinki, Finland, established in 1918 and relocated to its current site in 1936. The building, designed by architect Olavi Sortta, features unique semi-circular balconies and was expanded in the 1960s. After serving military needs until 2005, it was transformed into an elderly nursing home, preserving its architectural heritage. Recognized as a nationally significant cultural site, Tilkka showcases modern architecture and offers a glimpse into Finland's military and healthcare history.
