"Art Nouveau, or Jugend style, flourished in Helsinki at the turn of the 20th century. The heritage of this building boom is still a dominant feature in many parts of present-day Helsinki. About 600 buildings date back to the Art Nouveau era, ca. 1895-1915. Large residential areas were constructed entirely in Jugend style. The Katajanokka district with its wide city quarters full of fantastic Art Nouveau buildings is unique in the world. Other neighbourhoods that are particularly rich in Art Nouveau houses are Kruununhaka, Ullanlinna and Eira."
