State Rifle Factory, Industrial heritage site in Tourula, Jyväskylä, Finland.
The State Rifle Factory spans multiple buildings dedicated to firearms manufacturing, with machinery imported from the United States during its early operational phase.
Established in 1926, the factory produced military weapons including the Lahti-Saloranta M/26 light machine gun and the Lahti L-39 anti-tank rifle until 1946.
The factory buildings, designed by architect Urho Åberg, represent Finnish industrial architecture of the 1920s and the nation's military manufacturing capabilities.
Located near downtown Jyväskylä and separated by the Tourujoki river, the former manufacturing complex now serves as a commercial building.
Following World War II, the facility transformed from weapons production to manufacturing tractors and industrial machines under the Valmet corporation name.
