Plevna, Tampere

The building was designed by architects Georg Gunliffe and F. L. Calonius for the textile manufacturer Finlayson Oy and built from 1876 to 1877.

[1] Plevna was the first building in the Nordic countries and the Russian Empire (which Finland was part of at the time) to be lit by electric lighting.

[1] The building is named after the city of Pleven, Bulgaria, and the 1877 siege of Plevna during the Russo-Turkish War, which also involved Finnish soldiers[1] to commemorate it.

Finnkino Plevna has 10 auditoriums and 1653 seats, which makes it the largest movie theatre in Finland outside Greater Helsinki.

[9] The restaurant serves the brewery's own beers as well as those from the Koskipanimo microbrewery next door, and since February 2018 customers have also been able to buy them to go.
