A hundred years of industry. Now a cultural hotspot.

The Konepaja buildings rose in 1903, when the Finnish State Railways founded the country's largest train workshop here. At its peak, over 1,500 workers maintained locomotives and carriages within these brick walls. Industrial operations ended in 2002–2003. The factory architecture drawn by Bruno F. Granholm has survived, and this nationally significant industrial heritage now lives on as restaurants, breweries, a cinema and a hotel. The Folks Hotel Konepaja buildings formerly housed the workshop's office, canteen and apprentice school. The history hasn't been hidden — you can see and feel it in every room.
