About this work
The Wrede passage (Finnish: Wreden pasaasi. Swedish: Wredes passage; also known as the "Old merchant alley", Finnish: Vanha kauppakuja, or the "Grandma tunnel", Finnish: Mummotunneli) is an entity formed by two stone buildings in Kluuvi, Helsinki, Finland. The name refers also to the merchant alley stretching throughout the block. The passage is formed by the Wrede house in the corner between Pohjoisesplanadi and Mikonkatu (Pohjoisesplanadi 35) and the Central house in the corner between Aleksanterinkatu and Mikonkatu (Aleksanterinkatu 46). The building entity represents Renaissance Revival architecture and was designed and partly commissioned by architect Karl August Wrede, and built in 1888 and 1892.
