| Haarajoki water mill, Järvenpää |
 |
This water mill has until recently been the oldest (used) industrial building in Järvenpää. Obviously they have stopped milling, since the owner started as a miller already in 1940's! There should be an active power station (or, a small turbine anyway) inside producing electricity for the owner. So far we've only done a quick external check, but perhaps more later.

Great view with stream, dam installations, curving village road and the mill as a dominating detail. |

Interesting function-related architecture, the mill is wide where it must be and narrower where it must not be wide. |

View from West. |
 |
From the traces on the wall surface I would presume the mill has been raised during the last investment in production in 1950's. |
 |
After milling was suspended, they've take care of securing easy access points. Supposedly it's a must so, otherwise kids from the village would hang around a bit too much. |

The small stream flows. |

You can see this same winch hook in Silent Wall, but atleast here it's in a different position! |
 |
Grain silo which doesn't suite to the surrounding area too well. |
