THE TALES OF THE SPA PARK VILLAS
THE ENCHANTING
HISTORY OF THE SPA PARK
The Spa Park in Hanko is a marvellous
and unique chapter in the history of the
town. The villas are built in the style of the
time with porches, balconies, towers and
pinnacles. In the mid-19th century some of
the richer bourgeois started to build palace
like summer places like in Ruissalo outside
Turku and in the Spa Park in Hanko. The
Hanko Spa was founded in 1879 and the
planning of the villa quarters began around
the same time.
At the turn of the century there were
27 villas in the spa park and in 1914 there
were 62 villas. The villas were built along
the winding Kylpyläpuistontie (“Spa road”),
a road known as Appelgrenintie today.
Quite a few of the villa owners were wealthy
and hired architects for the planning of the
buildings, which have traits of Swiss style,
Old Norse style and Art Nouveau.
One of the first villas to be built in the
Spa Park in 1880 was the so called Kronqvist’s villa, nowadays Villa Tellina on
Appelgrenintie 2. The year after Villa Doris
was built on Appelgrenintie 23, by order
of Carl Korsman, managing director of the
spa company. Villa Doris was built in two
floors with 17 one-room flats, explicitly as
accommodation for spa guests.
Villa Frenckell on Appelgrenintie 8 was
planned by the famous architect Theodor
Höijer for A.R. Frenckell, the schoolmaster,
in the mid-1880s. As a matter of curiosity,
let it be mentioned that the famous millionaire and philanthropist Aurora Karamzin
rented the villa in the summer of 1895.
Theodor Höijer planned one more villa for
Frenckell on Mannerheimintie 12 in 1896.
The present Villa Tita-Maria on
Appelgrenintie 21 was originally called
Villa Schloss after the pharmacist Sophia
S. Schloss from Saint Petersburg. She had
the villa constructed and it was built by
Hangö Ångsåg & Snickeri between 1887
and 1888.
Spa hotels were built on the outskirts of
the settlement at the time. Hotel Pension
Bellevue and the company villa on Mannerheimintie were built for the spa guests.
Bellevue had 66 lodgings for visitors and
advertised itself with its marvellous position by the sea shore, a first-class kitchen
and an outstanding wine cellar. The company villa had four flats with three rooms
and a kitchen and was aimed at families
with children.
A guided tour around the villas in the Spa Park takes us back in time and
reminds us of the life in the Grand Duchy and the life in the heydays of
the Spa Park: “The tales of the Spa Park villas”.
HANKO SPA
The Hanko Spa was a hydro operating in Hanko between 1879 and 1939.
The establishment had no spring of
its own, instead cold baths in the sea
were of great importance, and after World War I there were the open
air baths. Among the treatments you
could find half bath, hip bath, steam
bath, wrapping treatments, pine needle bath, mud bath massage, electric
bath, carbon dioxide bath and physiotherapy. In 1895 a six-week-long stay
in Hanko, all inclusive, cost about
240–480 marks, i.e. 1200–2400 euros
in today’s money.
The Spa was in its heyday before
World War I, when it was the most
modern spa in Finland. The summer
of 1939 was its last year in operation and the bombings during the
World War II damaged the public bath
house, which was demolished after
the war in 1945.

10 ASPECTS ON THE HISTORY OF HANKO
It all began with Hanko being a known anchorage. Amazing rock carvings,
coats of arms and marks of merchants are all preserved from the Vasa period and the Swedish Great Power period. The history on the Hanko peninsula has always been eventful because of its strategically important position. Swedes and Russians built fortresses here long before the town was
founded in 1874. After this the town has experienced fashionable spa living,
dramatic war times, emigration and industrialisation. All these events have
formed, changed and left their mark on the town and its history.
Experience 10 aspects on the town’s history at the Museum of Hanko.
All artefacts and pictures are from the museum’s own collections and
visitors can examine some items by themselves.
The exhibition “10 Aspects on the History of Hanko” at the Museum of Hanko is

THE MONUMENT OF LIBERTY
The Monument of Liberty was erected
in 1921 in remembrance of the landing
of German forces in Hanko in 1918.
When the citizens of Hanko came
back after the area’s Soviet control in
1940–41, the monument had been removed. Damaged parts were repaired
and the monument was rebuilt in 1943,
but it was taken down again in 1946.
The Monument of Liberty was
re-erected in 1960 with new text:
“For our liberty”. The monument is
situated by the sea at the end of the
street Bulevardi. The monument was
planned by Ilmari Wirkkala and Leonard Savola (Granit) and made by
sculptor Bertel Nilsson.

by the Soviet Union as a naval base
after the peace treaty of Moscow

and the Soviets did extensive building
in Hanko. There are still ruins of fortifications in the centre of the town.
