History
In the beach, there are a couple of buildings dating back to
earlier eras.The buildings are closely connected to the
summertime use and recreational activities on the beach.
The oldest buildings in the area
were built in the 70´s.The buildings stand out as excellent representatives of their time in terms of architectural design.
The best-known building in Nallikari is the Nallikari Majakka completed in 1988. Built in the end of a breakwater, the landmark was built in post-modern style.It was designed by NVØ Architectural Office.
Before the Lighthouse was built, the most important
building on the beach was the 70´s
pavilion restaurant.The glass-walled pavilion is
typical to its era of constructive minimalism
with very clear-lined details.
The building designed by Architectural Office Risto
Harju KY accommodated changing and
washing facilities for beach-goers.
The restaurant was extended in 1983. The listed
restaurant building has been empty
since 2006.
