Hüti klaasikoda, Historical glassworks in Hiiumaa, Estonia
Hüti klaasikoda is an archaeological site of a glass factory on Hiiumaa that spans several hundred square meters. Visitors find informational panels onsite that explain the production methods, along with displays of glass fragments and objects from excavations.
The glassworks was founded in 1628 and marked the first industrial glass production center in the Baltic region. It remained active for several generations before eventually being abandoned to time.
The site reflects how Baltic territories connected with broader European craft traditions, as skilled workers from different regions came together to produce goods. The workshop demonstrates how local resources and imported techniques merged to create something distinctly rooted in this place.
The site is freely accessible and located in a quiet rural area of Hiiumaa. Bring sturdy footwear and weather protection, as the workshop remains are spread across open ground without shelter.
The workshops used specialized techniques to create delicate air bubbles between vertical ribs in white glass. This skilled process was remarkable for its time and makes the glass fragments found here still recognizable today.
