Forssa Spinning Mill
The historic Forssa Cotton Mill was founded by Swedish-born Axel Wahren in 1847. The Spinning Mill was soon followed by a Weaving Mill, yarn dye works and the first industrial fabric printing plant in the country. The developing textile industry soon attracted people from near and far, and the small factory town grew into a city. The spinning mill ceases operating in 1980, after which it has been renovated into a vibrant cultural centre and a fun place to visit. Visit our museums and exhibitions, and enjoy refreshments at the terrace by the 36-meter-tall chimney. You can also check out the Kuhalankoski rapids and admire the green landscape which brings together the historic industrial red-brick architecture, as well as the park that borders it. The Forssa Spinning Mill is an outdoor area and open every day all-year-round. Please check the opening hours of individual attractions from the website.
