Mäkiäinen workers' house

The Mäkiäinen workers' house is a community center in Pöytyä featuring a main hall with an integrated stage and modern technical equipment. The space accommodates gatherings and performances, with the stage equipped with scenic backdrops for theatrical and cultural events.

The building was constructed in 1914 during the height of the worker movement in the region. It underwent major restoration work in 1946 and again from 2004 to 2007, when a café and kitchen were added to expand its services.

The building was designed as a gathering place for worker movements and served local communities as a space for assemblies and social exchange. The stage with its scenic elements shows how important theatrical performances and local events have been to community life.

The facility is located in Riihikoski and features climate-controlled spaces with modern amenities like running water and utilities. The main hall can accommodate up to 180 people, making it suitable for various types of events and gatherings.

The auditorium was equipped with professional audio technology including a Dolby Digital 5.1 sound system installed in 2005. This technical setup indicates the space was designed not just for simple meetings but also for high-quality productions and performances.
