Tuusula sells Purola Youth Centre and Linjamäki School at auction
The municipality of Tuusula is auctioning off two properties: the Purola youth centre on Jokelantie and the disused Linjamäki school in Nuppulinna. An open bidding process for both properties will be held on the Huutokaupat.com website from 2 March to 20 April 2026.
Purola Youth Centre
The Purola Youth Centre covers an area of 272 m2, and the plot area is 12,300 m2. The building was completed in 1948 and is located in Jokela, at Jokelantie 103.
The building consists of two parts – an apartment at the end of the building and a banquet hall. The courtyard also has a 30 m² utility building with two separate storage rooms and an old outhouse. According to the condition assessment, the building is in need of extensive repairs and investigation, and the buyer should be prepared for significant renovation work.
The municipality is selling Purola as a building site in accordance with the general plan, which currently has a building used for club and association activities. The buyer can apply for a building permit to change the use of the building.
Linjamäki School
The school building, which is no longer in use, has a total floor area of 667 square metres and stands on a plot measuring 5,141 square metres. The school building is located in Nuppulinna, at Linjamäen koulutie 4.
Linjamäki School was completed in 1917 and expanded in the 1970s and renovated in 2007. The building is protected by a local master plan. It should be preserved in such a way that its cultural and historical values are not compromised.
A maximum of 400 m² of the building’s total floor space may be allocated for residential use. The remaining space may be used, for example, for small-scale business activities that do not cause environmental disturbances. Converting part of the building into a residential building requires measures and a permit procedure.
According to the condition assessment, renovation work is needed on the building. Due to its protected status, any alterations must be approved by the museum authorities.
Open auction and displays
The bidding process for both properties will begin on 2 March 2026 at 6:00 a.m. and end on 20 April 2026 at 7:00 p.m. or three minutes after the last accepted bid. The properties are subject to a price reservation.
The viewing times will be announced on the Huutokaupat.com website. Prospective buyers are advised to view the properties in person, as not all building permit documents or repair histories are available.
