- Details
Naantali - Nådendals municipality
Naantali is considered to have been founded on 23rd of August in 1443, when the King Christopher granted the charter to allow for the building of the convent at Ailostenniemi.
When the convent operations ceased at the end of the 1500s, it crippled the town to the point where Naantali was not even listed as a town in any documents from 1540. At the beginning of the 1700s, the water from Viluluoto Spring was discovered to be beneficial in alleviating the symptoms of many illnesses. This health spring set the foundation for the development of spa activities in Naantali.
