Toivola Old Courtyard
Toivolan vanha piha
A 19th-century wooden-house courtyard, a rare sight in the city centre, home to small craft workshops, antique shops and cafés.
Toivola Old Courtyard is a surviving corner of Jyväskylä's old wooden-house quarter, enclosed by several 19th-century wooden houses. It now hosts craft workshops, second-hand shops, antiques and cafés, along with a small display of a residence. In summer there are often handmade markets. It is on the south side of the city centre, about a five-minute walk from the pedestrian street, and is a good place to rest while shopping.
Opening hours
Shop approx. Tue–Sat 11:00–17:00
