This view opens from the railway station. If you arrive to the city by train (a very common way; in fact so common, that there is even a Finnish saying about traveling by train to Mikkeli), you will have to come here after stepping out of the train.

Same in night time. The city may not have a lot of money, but there is always some to spend for important things - like illuminating derelict mills in the middle of the night.

On the corner. The road on the right takes up to the hill and to the market place.

The concrete look of the silos closest to the pedestrian way was softened with some paintings around 2006.

View from top of Mikkeli, the Naisvuori water tower hill shows better how central the mill's location is.

View from the mill's attic. Very early weekday morning at the street named after the famous Finnish commander, Marshall Mannerheim. Traffic is minimal, and it was this fact that made the trip into the mill possible.
