Visit to the past / Visita al pasado / Visite au passé / Visita ao passado

In English:

Open-air museum of Turkansaari.

Turkansaari is situated from Oulu, Finland about 10 km / 6.2 mi to the East. It is an island, where man can make time travel to the past, because there is an open-air museum, which consists more than 40 museum old buildings. Many of them have been moved from their original site, re-erected and restored on Turkansaari.

We visited to Turkansaari in summer 2016. What we saw? After passing the bridge, we went straight ahead to the old wooden church from 1694, because we love wooden churches. As I guessed, we were not disappointed to the church – small, simple and beautiful. Traditional windmill is from 1850s and it is not a “ginger windmill”, but rough as it was in historic days.

We met also artisans, blacksmith, and the man who casted tin solders and made tiny bark boats. Peeking inside old buildings, we found some artefacts, which use were to us unknown. Long boats which You see among my photos, are intended for transporting tar. Tar was made in Oulu and elsewhere in Finland, Oulu has been a main center for selling it in our history. The heyday of transporting tar was in the 1850s. When in the café, before leaving the area, we saw hanging some rye breads on skewer. This habit was very general on countryside in our history.

Photos, which show long boats, were used for rafting and transporting tar. Finland exported tar to Europe. If tar and its history is unknown to You, then take a look at links after my photos. Surely interesting information – real time travel!

En español:

Museo al aire libre de Turkansaari.

Turkansaari está situado de Oulu, Finlandia alrededor de 10 km / 6,2 millas al este. Es una isla, donde se puede hacer viajes en el tiempo, porque allí hay un museo al aire libre, que consta más de 40 antiguos edificios. Muchos de ellos se han movido de su sitio original, re-construido y restaurado en Turkansaari.

Visitamos a Turkansaari en el verano de 2016. Lo que vimos? Después de pasar el puente, fuimos directamente en delante de nosotros la antigua iglesia de madera de 1694, porque amamos iglesias de madera. Como pensaba, la iglesia no nos decepcionó – pequeña, sencilla y hermosa. Tradicional molino de viento es de 1850 y que no es un “molino de viento de jengibre”, pero en bruto como lo fue en los días históricos.

Nos encontramos también artesanos, herrero, y el hombre que fundaba soldaduras de estaño e hizo barcos pequeños de corteza. Al echar una mirada en el interior de los edificios antiguos, encontrábamos allí algunos artefactos, lo que ellos servían no lo sabíamos. Largos bote de remo que se ve entre mis fotos, están destinados para el transporte de alquitrán. El alquitrán se hizo en Oulu y en otras partes de Finlandia, Oulu ha sido un centro principal para venderlo en nuestra historia. El apogeo de transporte de alquitrán estaba en la década de 1850. Cuando en el café, antes de salir de la zona, vimos algunos panes de centeno colgando en la brocheta. Este hábito es muy general en el campo de nuestra historia.

Las fotos, que muestran largos botes de remo, se utilizaban para el descenso de rápidos y el transporte de alquitrán. Finlandia exportó alquitrán a Europa. Si el alquitrán y su historia es desconocido para vos, a continuación, echa un vistazo a los enlaces después de mis fotos. Seguramente información interesante – viaje en el tiempo real!

En francais:

Musée en plein air de Turkansaari.

Turkansaari est situé de Oulu, Finlande environ 10 km / 6,2 mi à l’Est. C’est une île, où on peut faire voyage dans le temps au passé, parce qu’il y a un musée en plein air, qui se compose de plus de 40 anciens bâtiments. Beaucoup d’entre eux ont été déplacés de leur site d’origine, re-construit et restauré sur Turkansaari.

Nous visitions à Turkansaari en été 2016. Qu’est-ce que c’est ça que nous avons vu? Après avoir passé le pont, nous sommes allés tout droit à la vieille église en bois à partir de 1694. Parce que nous aimons les églises en bois, je l’ai deviné, nous ne serons pas déçus de l’église – petite, simple et belle. Le moulin à vent traditionnel est de 1850 et c’est pas un “moulin à vent du gingembre”, mais rugueux comme il était en jours historiques.

Nous rencontrions aussi des artisans, forgeron, et l’homme qui fondait soldats de plomb et a fait des bateaux d’écorce minuscules. En jetant un coup d’œil à l’intérieur des bâtiments anciens, nous trouvions quelques objets, dont l’utilisation devaient nous inconnu. Les longs bateaux à rames que vous voyez parmi mes photos, sont destinés à transporter le goudron. Le goudron a été faite à Oulu et ailleurs en Finlande, Oulu a été un centre principal pour la vente dans notre histoire. L’apogée de transport de goudron était dans les années 1850. Lorsque, dans le café, avant de quitter la zone, nous voyions quelques pains de seigle traînant sur la broche. Cette habitude était très générale dans la campagne dans notre histoire.

Les photos, qui montrent de longs bateaux, ont été utilisés pour le rafting et le transport de goudron. Si le goudron et son histoire est inconnu pour vous, alors jetez un oeil à des liens après mes photos. Sûrement l’information intéressante – réelle voyage dans le temps!

Em português:

O Museu ao ar livre de Turkansaari.

Turkansaari fica em Oulu, Finlândia 10 km / 6,2 mi para o leste. É uma ilha onde você pode fazer a viagem no tempo para o passado, porque há um museu ao ar livre, que consiste de mais de 40 edifícios antigos. Muitos deles foram movidos de seu local original, reconstruído e restaurado em Turkansaari.

Visitámos em Turkansaari no verão de 2016. O que é que nós vimos? Depois de atravessar a ponte, fomos direto para a antiga igreja de madeira a partir de 1694. Porque amamos as igrejas de madeira, eu achei, que não ficarei desapontado pela igreja – pequena, simples e bonita. O moinho de vento tradicional é de 1850 e não é um “moinho de vento gengibre”, mas áspera como era nos tempos antigos.

Nós também se reuniu artesãos, um ferreiro, e o homem que derreteu soldados de lata e fez pequenos barcos casca. Dando uma olhada no interior dos edifícios antigos, encontramos alguns artefactos cuja utilização não sabíamos. As longas barcos a remos que você vê nas minhas fotos, são significados para transportar alcatrão. O alcatrão foi feita em Oulu e em outros lugares na Finlândia, Oulu era um centro principal para as vendas em nossa história. O auge de transporte tar foi na década de 1850, quando, no café, antes de deixar a área, vimos um pouco de pão de centeio pendurado no espeto. Este hábito era muito geral na campanha em nossa história.

As fotos, que mostram barcos longos foram usadas para rafting e transporte de alcatrão. Se o alcatrão e sua história é desconhecido para você, então dê uma olhada em ligacaos de minhas fotografias. Informações certamente interessantes – viagem no tempo real!

It’s really a time travel and fascinating to see how buildings were constructed in former times. How people used the old materials for their crafts or handicraft and how they worked to seal off the houses in order to protect against heat, coldness, rain etc. The church is beautiful, Matti! My personal favourite today, however, is the windmill which is very particular with its rounded vanes.
Thanks for showing such a great variety of photos taken during your visit at the open-air museum of Turkansaari! I enjoyed it very much!

Have a nice week!

Especially I am glad that You love the old traditional wind mill, I have old post, in which I have a collection of these historic windmills around Finland. There are a couple of same type. The first photo shows how two “keep in balance” vanes. 🙂

  Kiitos kehuista. On hienoa kuulla, että tulet taas käymään täällä. Kevät ja kesän alku ovat olleet kylmiä, josta johtuu, että mansikat ovat myöhässä. Ilmeisesti ensi viikosta alkaen niitä alkaa saada syötäväksi ja pakkaseen. Olemme nyt juuri Oulussa ja matkaamme Helsinkiin ensi viikolla vähäksi aika ja palaamme taas Ouluun.
  
  Toivotaan, että kylmä jakso väistyy ja tulee lämmintä ja aurinkoista.
