The pink Jetty Barracks is the main gate built during the Russian period of the fortress. The Jetty Barracks dominates the northern shore of Suomenlinna. The HSL ferry operates from the Market Square to the main pier located in front of the Jetty Barracks.
The main pier is right in front of the Jetty Barracks, and the Visitor Center awaits you immediately upon disembarking from the ferry, the first door on the left along the route.
The vaulted, metal-roofed stone barracks were built between 1868 and 1870. It was intended for peacetime use for 250 soldiers.
