Koskela

Koskela is located in the subdivision of Vanhankaupungin peruspiiri, near the rapids close to the mouth of the Vantaa River.

The earliest mention of the human settlement in Koskela dates back to 1417, which makes it the oldest part of Helsinki.

After the financial collapse, only one Alepa remained in the center of the apartment building district.

On December 4, 2020, a teenage murder occurred in Koskela that shocked the entire country.

Police suspect the perpetrators of three boys of the same age who were imprisoned in the Helsinki District Court on December 10 on suspicion of murder.
