History
A central part of Tapaninvainio's history is Kapteenskanmäki, which is now a playground and outdoor recreation area. The hill is named after the Russian captain and countess Manfeja Multanovskaya. The elegantly dressed captain with her talking parrots was a familiar figure to the residents of the area. Kapteenskanmäki was home to Multanovskaya's manor, animal stables, confectionery factory and, during the war, a bomb shelter, on the other side of Karhusuontie.
The manor – originally the main building of the Åsmus farm – was finally demolished in 1957, having fallen into serious disrepair. According to the markings on the wall logs, its construction year is stated to be 1811.
