The Michelin Guide's review
This is the site of Korsholm, or old Vaasa, destroyed by the fire of 1852. Nowadays, the area has become a pleasant residential suburb. The Court of Appeal (1776) is the only building to have survived the fire. When the town was rebuilt on its new site, this Gustavian-style masterpiece was turned into a Lutheran church, to which Setterberg added a bell tower in 1863. Wasastjerna House, also spared, houses the Gamla Vasa Museum.
