Porin Konepaja, Industrial heritage site in Pori, Finland.

The factory complex features multiple buildings along the Kokemäenjoki River, including a large foundry structure designed by architect Johan Nordstrand in 1903.

Established in 1858 by merchant Carl Anton Björnberg and lawyer K. J. Lönegren, the facility initially produced agricultural tools before expanding into railway carriages production.

The factory buildings form an essential part of the protected Pori industrial landscape, representing the technological advancement and manufacturing expertise of Finnish industry.

The site maintains regular opening hours for visitors interested in exploring the industrial heritage, with guided tours available through local tourism offices.

During the post-war period, the factory manufactured 310 steam-powered generators for remote areas, each containing twelve-ton boilers with forty-meter smokestacks.
