Johannislund Glass Factory, Historical glassworks in Salo, Finland
Johannislund Glass Factory is a glass production site in Salo that continues to use traditional handcrafted methods. Its workshops contain furnaces and workstations where each piece is shaped and finished by hand.
The factory was established as a glass production center and shaped Finland's industrial development in glassmaking. It has become an important landmark in the region's economic and manufacturing history.
The factory shows how traditional glassmaking skills pass from one craftsperson to the next through everyday work. Visitors witness these inherited techniques being practiced and refined right before their eyes.
Visitors can watch craftspeople at work and join guided tours to understand the glassmaking process. The best time to visit is during regular working days when the furnaces are operating and artisans are actively producing.
The facility combines active glass production with the status of a Cultural Heritage Site of National Significance. This dual purpose makes it a rare example where history and present-day craftsmanship coexist under one roof.
