Fiskars bruk, Industrial heritage site in Raseborg, Finland.

The village contains historical wooden buildings, including the Assembly Hall, Fiskars Wärdshus, and the Clock Tower with its Finnish-made Könni timepiece from 1842.

Established in 1649 by Dutch businessman Peter Thorwöste, the ironworks manufactured products such as nails, wire, knives, and reinforced cartwheel bands using natural water power.

The industrial complex now functions as a center for Finnish art and design, hosting exhibitions, workshops, and shops that showcase local artisans throughout the year.

Located 74 minutes by car from Helsinki, the village offers accommodations at Torby hotel and Fiskars Wärdshus, with tourist information available during summer months.

A narrow-gauge railroad connected Fiskars to Pohjankuru harbor from 1891 to 1952, transporting manufactured products from the industrial village to shipping points.
