Finlayson Hydropower Plant
Finlayson Hydropower Plant, Hydroelectric power station in Finlayson district, Tampere, Finland
The Finlayson Hydropower Plant operates on the Tammerkoski rapids, generating electrical power through a system of water turbines and generators.
Built in 1926 by architect Jarl Eklund, this Nordic Classicism structure became essential for powering the industrial growth of the Finlayson factory complex.
The power plant represents the evolution of Finnish industrial architecture, featuring distinct Nordic design elements that characterize early 20th-century engineering.
Located at Kanavaraitti 12, the protected building stands near museums and cultural venues in the redeveloped Finlayson district of central Tampere.
The facility continues its original function of energy production while maintaining its protected status as a historical industrial monument in Finland.
