Among the most intriguing symbols found in this architectural style are owls. In the early 1900s, while Finland was still under Russian rule, architects used this richly symbolic style to help shape a visual language for a nation yearning for independence. #archidetails #helsinki #finland #jugendstil #artnouveau #artnouveaustyle #artnouveauarchitecture #architecturalheritage #archihunter #architecturaldetail #archilovers #owls".
