Verla Paper Mill Museum / a World Heritage Site

UPM-Kymmene Corporation
The idyllic village of Verla (two hours drive north of Helsinki) with the old board mill at its heart is a unique landmark in the early history of the Finnish forest industry. A rare example of the Nordic industrial heritage, Verla was in cluded on the UNESCO World Heritage List in December 1996.
The visitor to the groundwood and board mill, now a museum, obtains a vivid picture of the way people worked in decades past and the methods that were used.
The Verla Mill Museum is open from 10 am to 5 pm on Tuesdays to Sundays between May 2 and September 13. Guided tours in Finnish start each hour. Tours for groups and in other languages by arrangement.
