Photos VASA-01 Vasa and Stockholm (Jun/03) Very large and beautiful church in the middle of a park. It is called the Trefaldighets Kyrka or Trinity Church. Constructed by small red bricks which means that it took ages to finish up this huge building. Unfortunately it was closed that time so we could not peep in. VASA-02 Vasa and Stockholm (Jun/03) Close up of the tower, revealing some architecture detail with high degree of gothic influence. Quite simple overall, but still impressive design. VASA-03 Vasa and Stockholm (Jun/03) I and Malin in the park beside this large church. There was flowers, many benches and a fountain which at that time was crowded by a dozen of teens. Maybe it is their 'headquarters' ! VASA-04 Vasa and Stockholm (Jun/03) This is the university in which Malin studied accountancy for 4 years between 1994-1998. She immediately noticed how much the college have changed and been improved from last time she was here, about 5 yeasr ago. The college was very clean (as if it was new) and large. At that time it was school summer vacations, so there where very little people, however Main saw one of her ex-teachers ! VASA-05 Vasa and Stockholm (Jun/03) Malin in front of her ex-college : "SVENSKA HANDELSHOGSKOLAN" VASA-06 Vasa and Stockholm (Jun/03) Close up of Malin in front of the doorway footsteps. I wonder how many times she climbed these steps to go to college, sometimes jumping them up because she was late or rain! VASA-07 Vasa and Stockholm (Jun/03) Here is a small restroom inside the college. Nearby there was some lockers too. For me (under Maltese standards) it looks like a reception / waiting room of a well-known company! VASA-08 Vasa and Stockholm (Jun/03) This was the first building I saw in Vasa when we arrived in the afternoon. I thought it was some important structure or company but apparently it was just an old factory which used to make bread. Actually now is used as a restaurant and pub. VASA-09 Vasa and Stockholm (Jun/03) This is a statue of a Famous Finish writer in the 19th century - Zakarias Topelius in front of the park with the large church (Photo: Vasa-01). Last year I visited a museum of Topelius in Jakobstad (or was it Uusikaarlepyy) which actually was its home. VASA-10 Vasa and Stockholm (Jun/03) Here was the main square of Vasa with this statue in the centre. Unfortunately the this square was under extensive construction / repairs and so it was inaccessible. Apparently they where make some underground car park?!
