Packhouse Museum

Packhouse Museum
The Packhouse lies in Old Raahe by the sea. The oldest of the local museums introduces its visitors to the illustrious age of sailing ships in Raahe and the exotic treasures that the sailors brought back home from their travels. The museum’s Church Hall features the magnificent wooden sculptures made by Mikael Balt for the old church of Raahe. Their enchantingly vivid colours and intricate ornamentation harken back to the Baroque period. This “museum within a museum” is a cornucopia of artefacts and stories, with enough to see to last multiple visits.
