The Bückerei can be found in the pedestrian zone. There is also an interesting statue in front. If you need Bücker, this is the place.

The oldest, richly decorated part of the library, dating from 1903, is inspired by the Dutch late Renaissance. It blends harmoniously with the elegant, modern extension by JMKK Architects from 2007, which encloses a quiet courtyard in the middle.

The 2,900 m2 building of Turku's Main Library is a building in the Dutch Late Renaissance style, built in 1903 and handed over by Turku's trade councillor Fredric von Rettig to a design by Karl August Wrede. The design was based on a Swedish noble house in Stockholm.

The library's roots date back to the 1860s, when a privately funded public library and an academically oriented city library were established in Turku. The Turku city administration soon took over the operation of both libraries, which were merged to form the Turku City Library in 1912.
