Tulmozero Works, Former iron manufacturing site in Kolatselga, Russia.
Tulmozero Works is a former iron manufacturing complex near Lake Tulmozero with remnants of production buildings from the late 19th century. The site preserves machinery and structural foundations that show how the facility operated during its industrial period.
The works was founded in 1896 and became part of Russia's industrial growth as a regional iron producer. Later it became a site of conflict, with losses occurring during the Soviet-Finnish War and World War II.
The site carries regional heritage status and shows how industrial work shaped the local community and economy of Karelia. It reflects the working conditions and daily life that the factory created for people in the area.
The site is near the P21 highway, making it accessible from the village of Kolatselga in the Pryazhinsky District. Visitors can reach it by following local roads that branch from the main highway to the industrial area.
The grounds contain mass graves honoring around 500 soldiers and underground workers who died during the Soviet-Finnish War and World War II. This memorial marks the human cost tied to the site's industrial and wartime history.
