Strömma Canal, Canal and cultural heritage site in Kimitoön, Finland.
The Strömma Canal extends 100 meters in length and 28 meters in width, connecting Kimitoön island to mainland Finland through a waterway passage point.
Following the need for iron ore transportation in the 1820s, construction of the original canal began in 1844 under Viktor Zebor Bremer with Emperor Nicholas I's authorization.
The location developed into a small community during the 19th century, with shipyards, sawmills, schools, and shops establishing around the maritime transportation hub.
The canal features a modern bascule bridge that opens to allow larger vessels passage, while maintaining road connectivity between the island and mainland.
The site preserves both the new canal from 1968 and the original waterway structure, including an 1850s pilot station and an 1897 canal keeper's residence.
