chapel, 1921_construction
The Kordelin's Chapel in Rauma's Old cemetery was completed in 1921. The chapel was constructed and donated to the parish by Alfred Kordelin's family. The chapel was designed by Lars Sonck and has been in the possession of the parish of Rauma since 1924.
Alfred Kordelin (1868 - 1917), the son of a sailor from Rauma, was among the most prominent of the country's Finnish-speaking businessmen. A youngster who never received a formal education, he started out empty-handed but full of vigour and became one of Finland's richest men in a couple of decades. Kordelin was especially active in weaving and the metal industry, and eventually he also became a ship-owner.
