Hüti klaasikoda, Historical glassworks in Hiiumaa, Estonia

The remains of this 17th-century glass factory extend across 2500 square meters, featuring foundations and artifacts from its manufacturing operations.

Earl Jacob De la Gardie established this glass manufacturing facility in 1628, marking the first industrial glassworks production site in Estonia.

The factory produced 70 different types of glass items, including window panes, laboratory equipment, pharmacy vessels, and decorative pieces with optical effects.

The excavation site maintains informational panels explaining the glass production methods and displays examples of recovered glass pieces from archaeological digs.

The glassworks employed specialized techniques for creating air bubble patterns between vertical ribs, particularly visible in their white glass productions.
