Fiskars, Finland

Fiskars (Swedish; Finnish: Fiskari) is a village, now part of the town of Raseborg, in western Uusimaa, Finland.

The most notable architectural attraction of Fiskars is a mansion designed in 1818 by Italian-born architect Charles Bassi.

In 1822, John Jacob von Julin bought the ironworks and founded a fine production facility in 1830 and Finland's first workshop in 1836.

The development of the industrial community was fast, and the factories and workshops produced utility items from scissors and puukko knives to ploughs and power transmission devices.

Also in winter, various exhibitions and conference, accommodation and restaurant services, as well as workshops and shops provide things to see and experience.
