The Oulu Degree
Oulun matkailuneuvonta
Oulu went askew in 1783! When the city plan was being renewed, they took the corner of the Franzén house in the crossing of Kirkkokatu and Kajaaninkatu streets as its basis. However, contrary to everyone's assumptions, the corner was not 90 degrees after all. Therefore all the streets in the city centre cross at either 89- or 91-degree angles and the walls of buildings have had to be drawn awry on purpose.
