Former wool mill and factory, Industrial heritage site in Hyvinkää, Finland

The former wool mill and factory building complex contains multiple exhibition spaces, workshops, and a museum displaying textile manufacturing equipment.

Engineer Ossian Donner established the wool mill in 1892, which operated as Finland's largest fabric manufacturer throughout the twentieth century.

The Valvilla Wool Mill Museum preserves industrial artifacts, photographs, and documents that demonstrate the evolution of Finnish textile manufacturing methods.

Visitors can explore the museum from June to July on weekdays between 12:00 and 15:00, with guided tours available by appointment in Finnish.

The factory's original fire equipment storehouse now serves as an exhibition space that demonstrates the complete process of wool transformation into fabric.
