Hamburger Börs, Turku

Hamburger Börs was a 1909 Art Nouveau hotel building in Turku, Finland, next to the Market Square. It was designed by Frithiof Strandell as an expansion to an existing hotel on Kauppiaskatu, and had 30 rooms. A brick warehouse stood in what was to become the inner yard of Strandell's expansion; rather than tearing it down, he had the Metropol film theatre built inside it.
