| Ironworks in Billnäs (Pinjainen), Pohja (Pojo) |
 |
The irownworks in Billnäs started operating in 1641. Present buildings are from different times, oldest of them from 18th century. While some buildings serve metal indystry still today, most of the premises are in different use. The area is under constant development, and will probably be different tomorrow than today. There aren't many buildings suitable for inside expeditions, but a quick look at the area is available.
