Syksyinen tyyni aamu suosi ilmakuvauksia pitkästä aikaa.
Tosin magneettisia ja radiotaajuisia häiriöitä täällä (Katajanokka) olikin sitten ihan riittävästi....!!!!!
Syynä lienevät Ulkoministeriön ja Merivartioston suuret ja tehokkaat radioantennit...tai muu voimakas radioliikenne..???

Katajanokka Historic Heritage Best Western Hotel (Former Prison Jail House) in Helsinki, Finland
We're typically fond of quirky and/or heritage types of hotels, so when we had the chance to stay at Katajanokka Hotel (a former prison jail house) in Helsinki, Finland, we jumped at the opportunity. We've stayed in a range of hotels during our travels, ranging from heritage hotels in George Town, Penang to shacks by the river in Southern Laos. When we had the opportunity to rest our sleepy heads in a former jailhouse, we simply couldn't resist.

The jail was built in 1837 featuring distinct red brick walls heavily influenced by the Gothic period. Katajanokka County prison was one of the first prisons to feature centralized heating and electricity in all of the rooms. With more than 164 cells the prison was able to hold over 200 prisoners at maximum capacity. What fascinated us was that this old jailhouse was still in operation up until 2002 when it was converted into a hotel by Best Western in 2007.
The hotel itself is full of fascinating contrasts; old brick walls versus modern amenities. The thick walls are conducive to a wonderful silent night of rest, yet they sometimes impede wifi signals. Protected by the National Board of Antiquities, its been transformed into a modern hotel with unique charms.
As far as our stay was concerned, one of the true highlights was the buffet breakfast at the Jailbird Restaurant. With a dark and gloomy (almost haunting) setting we felt as though we were dining in a fancy dungeon. Our favorites included homemade jams, dark rye bread, muesli with lingonberries and Karelian pies. It was our first time trying Karelian pastries along with gooseberry jam. The pastries (also known as pies) originated from the region of Karelia and are most popular in Finland and Estonia; typically they're filled with potato and buckwheat but sometimes feature eggs, rice and a rye crust.
The Jailyard Terrace was the perfect place for us to relax and unwind with a few beers in the late afternoon / evening. Featuring a quaint courtyard setting, the terrace had live guest musicians performing regularly - our favorite being a man wearing hippy style attire while belting out classics from the 70's. While lounging in the courtyard, it was our first chance to try eating Finnish Reindeer cold cut meat.
Overall, our sponsored stay at Katajanokka Hotel was one in which we thoroughly enjoyed. Within close walking distance of the city center and Market Square, we were easily able to set off on foot to explore the main attractions of Helsinki. The only wrinkle in our stay was the fact that our wifi didn't work well in our room. The thick red brick walls, which make this hotel so unique and aesthetically appealing, also prevented us from having a strong wifi connection. However, the kind hotel staff offered us a connecting wire which allowed us to eventually have a blazing fast LAN connection in our room:
Olemme yleensä ihastunut omituinen ja / tai perinnön tyyppisiä hotelleja, joten kun meillä oli mahdollisuus yöpyä Katajanokan Hotel (entinen vankila talo) Helsinki, Suomi, me hyppäsi mahdollisuus.
Olemme jäi valikoiman hotelleja aikana meidän matkustaa aina perintö hotellit kohteessa George Town, Penang hökkeleissä joella Etelä-Laosissa. Kun meillä oli mahdollisuus levätä väsyneitä päänsä entinen Jailhouse, emme yksinkertaisesti voinut vastustaa.
Vankilassa on rakennettu vuonna 1837 mukana eri punatiili vaikuttavat voimakkaasti Gothic aikana. Katajanokan lääninvankila oli yksi ensimmäisistä vankiloita on lämmitys ja sähkön kaikissa huoneissa. Yli 164 solua vankilassa pystyi pitämään yli 200 vankia maksimiteholla. Mikä kiehtoo meitä oli, että tämä vanha jailhouse oli vielä toiminnassa vuoteen 2002 saakka, jolloin se muutettiin hotelli Best Western vuonna 2007.

Hotel Katajanokka - Helsinki
A famous building in Katajanokka is the former district prison of Southern Finland. The old prison dates back to 1837, and functioned as a prison until 2002. The prison underwent an extensive interior renovation to convert the cells of the prison into hotel rooms, with sets of two or three cells combined to make up the current hotel rooms. The Best Western Premier Hotel Katajanokka opened in May 2007 with 106 guest rooms. Renovations cost a reported 15 million euro.[As a historic building, strict limits were imposed on the redevelopment due to the strict regime of protection for historically significant buildings that is in effect in Finland. Thus, as a hotel, the exterior of the building has been preserved, as has the central corridor of the old prison and even the old prison wall. A restaurant at the lowest level of the hotel has attempted to keep much of the character of the old prison alive, and is called the Jailbird Restaurant.

The south side of Katajanokka is dominated by a passenger harbour which is frequented by large cruiseferries traveling between Helsinki, Stockholm, Mariehamn, Tallinn and Rostock. The rest of the district comprises co-operative apartment buildings and several small parks. The western part of the residential area, known as the Old Side of Katajanokka, is an upscale neighborhood and a well-preserved example of early 20th century Art Nouveau architecture, though up until the mid-19th century - while the centre of Helsinki was being filled with stone buildings - the area was essentially still a wooden shanty town. The eastern part was originally a closed military area which was subsequently occupied by a shipyard. It was redeveloped in the 1970s and 1980s into a residential zone, often referred to as the New Side of Katajanokka. The new residential area is considered an exceptional example of modern town planning.
Landmarks of Katajanokka include the Russian Orthodox Cathedral, also known as Uspenski Cathedral (architect Alexey Gornostaev, 1868), the Merikasarmi complex of the Foreign Ministry (architect Carl Ludvig Engel, 1825) and the Finnish headquarters of Stora Enso (architect Alvar Aalto, 1962; the most controversial of Aalto's works).
