Ekenäs Old Town with its wooden houses spreads out to the seashore. The street names tell the story of the life of the townspeople and how they got along hundreds of years ago. Here, the streets have stayed the same since the 16thcentury. Street names such as the Hatter’s Street Hattmakaregatan, Linen Weaver’s Street Linvävaregatan, Cloth Weaver’s Street Handskmakaregatan, Smith’s Street Smedsgatan and Tanner’s Street Garvaregatan reveal that Barcken’s peninsula in Ekenäs once was populated by skillful craftsmen.
