Modern public architecture in town center
Kankaanpää is quite a new town which planning has been strongly inspired by the barren terrain surrounding the town. The geographical frames donated by nature have been combined with the traditional industry of bricks just creating little by little this town with a small help of planning.
The modern architecture with its clear and plain lines forms an interesting visual context of town. We are continuously completing the town with works of art and green areas.
We have given a special weight for good town planning and architectural values. Since 1960’s Architects Heikki ja Kaija Siren have designed many of our public buildings.
The city planning realized in Kankaanpää has been rewarded for its quality with an important recognition, too. (SAFA-reward)

Taking the steps of a king – Kuninkaanlähde
In 1753 the king of Sweden and Finland was traveling from Ilmajoki to Hämeenlinna passing by Kankaanpää . This king decided to have a break by a spring famous for its good water.
The spring has been called after this event “Kuninkaanlähdeâ€� – the spring of king.
This natural spring is easily visitable and why not to have a break like a king by its shoreline.
