You're standing at the Manege on Suomenlinna, the fortress island just off Helsinki. This long brick building is now home to the Military Museum of Finland. Have a look at the entrances at either end. Between them runs one big hall, and in the old days there were heating ovens by the doors to keep that space warm.
