Högfors ironworks, Industrial heritage site in Karkkila, Finland.
The Högfors ironworks complex spans over 15,000 square meters, including industrial facilities, storage areas, and modern office spaces in Southern Finland.
Established in 1820, the ironworks grew into a major industrial center that supplied construction materials throughout Finland during the nineteenth century.
The Karkkila-Högfors Workers Museum preserves furnished dwellings from 1850 to 1960, displaying the evolution of industrial workers' living conditions.
Visitors can access three connected museums from June through August, with guided tours available hourly between 12 PM and 4 PM, Wednesday to Sunday.
The Pakari, a former baker's cottage within the ironworks complex, now functions as a summer café where guests experience the industrial heritage setting.
