Description

The houses of Yli-Nuoranne and Ali-Nuoranne in Ylivahenkylä, dating back to the 19th century, form an impressive gateway motif to the old church village, a tangible monument to the increasingly rare traditional building stock of prosperous Satakunta farming culture.

The village street that runs through the church village of Eura, following the Eurajoki, has kept its alignment, although the building stock along it has partly been renewed. At the southern end of the street, in Isovahenkylä, two old farmhouses are attached to the line of the road: the exceptionally long Ali-Nuoranne and Yli-Nuoranne.

The long main building of Ali-Nuoranne dates from the first half of the 19th century, and its older part apparently from the 1720s. Three granary storehouses stand along the village street. The main building of Yli-Nuoranne apparently dates from the mid-19th century. The garden of Yli-Nuoranne contains a Viking Age cemetery.

History

The villages of Vahe and Nuoranne along the Eurajoki were settled in the Middle Ages. In the 1560s there were two farms in Vahe village and nine in Nuoranne village. The farms of Nuoranne, which had existed in the 17th century, were bought as hereditary holdings in 1757, when Yli-Nuoranne and Ali-Nuoranne were connected with Iso-Vahe. Vähä-Vahe was separated from Iso-Vahe as a hereditary holding in 1762.
