Spinning Mill Area

The former textile manufacturing complex spans multiple red brick buildings along the Loimijoki River, featuring industrial architecture from the 1800s.

Axel Wilhelm Wahren established the cotton spinning mill in 1847, transforming this rural area into a major Finnish industrial center.

The buildings now house museums, a library, art galleries, and educational facilities, including the University of Applied Sciences and Music School.

The site connects to walking paths near Kuhalankoski rapids and contains restaurants, making it suitable for combining cultural visits with outdoor activities.

The original factory buildings include specialized structures like the waste spinning mill, foundry, carpenter workshop, and cotton warehouse, preserving industrial processes.
