Forssa, Municipality and industrial center in Tavastia Proper, Finland
The town spreads along the banks of Loimijoki River, featuring numerous parks across 303 hectares and redbrick factory buildings in the Kutomo and Kehräämö districts.
Axel Wilhelm Wahren established a spinning mill by the Loimijoki River in 1847, initiating the transformation of Forssa into an industrial center.
The Holjat Festival in August and Suvi-ilta Marathon event draw participants from across Finland to celebrate local traditions and athletic achievements.
Located at the intersection of highways 2 and 10, Forssa connects to major Finnish cities with Helsinki, Turku, and Tampere all within 150 kilometers.
The Ministry of Environment designated three areas of Forssa as national urban parks in 2015, preserving both agrarian landscapes and industrial heritage.
