Toripolliisi (The Bobby at the Market Place in English) is a bronze sculpture located at the market square in Oulu, Finland. It was made by sculptor Kaarlo Mikkonen in 1987. The sculpture measures 220×150×112 centimetres (86.6×59×44 inches), and it was named in honour of the bobbies that once patrolled the market place. The sculpture was funded with the help of a public fund raising started in 1985, and it was revealed in September 1987.Discover how to plan a Oulu trip in just a few steps with Inspirock's itinerary builder.

The Police statue at the Market Square in Oulu is symbol of the town. Everyone wants to take a selfie with him. He is an imposing figure at the Market Hall. A must, when you visit Oulu.

This is a truly sight to behold. You can find this statue near the harbor and market. Apparently it represents a true Oulu spirit or something like that.

Nice variety of meals with fish, unfortunately only burgers for vegetarians. All and all nice place with a good food in a touristic heart of Oulu.
