Ironworks in Teijo, Perniö
colourline

Teijo is one of the oldest blast furnace locations in Finland. Such an installation was built here already in the 17th century. There's a cemetery with a morgue from 1790's, the last blast furnace and other interesting stuff. Today they along with the manor house buildings serve tourism. However, there are three old charcoal ovens abandoned at the strand, which make the place more interesting.

 

Light of autumn dawn suits well for this place. There are three old ovens and a sauna empty at the harbour area.
Trees and other plants grow around the place in all directions.
Built of strong and practically free material, slag bricks.
This has been a room but the roof didn't make it to the year 2 k.
