Noormarkku ironworks, Industrial heritage site in Pori, Finland

The Noormarkku Ironworks spans multiple buildings along the Noormarkunjoki River, featuring a sawmill museum and an exhibition space in the former workshop.

Established in 1806 as the last ironworks under Swedish rule in Finland, the site was acquired by merchant Antti Ahlström in 1870 through a forced auction.

The industrial complex contains Villa Mairea from 1939, a masterwork by architects Alvar and Aino Aalto, representing Finnish modern architecture.

The site offers guided tours throughout the year, with 29 hotel rooms distributed across four guest houses and a restaurant specializing in local cuisine.

The Makkarakoski sawmill museum displays original machinery and equipment, demonstrating the complete production process of a traditional Finnish sawmill.
