Messukylä (Messuby in Swedish) was a municipality in Finland which was annexed to the city of Tampere in 1947. The medieval stone church (from circa 1540) in Messukylä is the oldest building in Tampere. During the Civil War (1918), Messukylä was a scene of heavy battles around the churches (both the medieval and the new church).
