Artist residency Kissaniitty<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Per\u00e4miehenkatu 1 is a log house originally built in 1890 right by the sea. The building housed Hanelius' fabric shop until the 1980s, after which the house has remained for residential use. The 250m\u00b2 house is divided into two parts, the larger of which is for the use of residence guests. <\/p>\n

The house includes a large, sheltered courtyard and a yard building with a wooden sauna, accommodation at summertime and gallery space opening in 2026.<\/p>\n

The house is half a kilometer from the nearest shop, restaurants and the magnificent rocky beaches of the Bothnian Sea.<\/p>\n

The nearest bus stop to Pori is across the road. From the Reelinki pier, you can take a dip in the sea both in summer and in winter time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
