About Nekala

Viinikka is a district of Tampere, Finland, located 1,5 kilometers southeast of its city center on the west side of Lake Iides. Its neighboring district is Nekala. Its construction began in 1914 on the former lands of Hatanpää Manor. The stone church, opened in 1932, is located in Viinikka. Viinikka's main streets are

The original name of Viinikankatu in 1939–1956 was Hervannantie, but the name was considered misleading because Hervanta is located quite far from the Viinikka district. Before the major street name reform carried out in Tampere in 1936, the current Tuomiokirkonkatu in the center of Tampere was known as Viinikankatu. Ahlmanintie, on the east side of Viinikankatu, is named after Gabriel Ahlman (1737–1799), an assessor who owned the Hatanpää Manor in the late 18th century.
