Valkeakoski

Valkeakoski has served as a paper-industry centre in southern Finland since the 1870s. The town occupies the short Valkeakoski rapids, a water route linking Lake Mallasvesi with Lake Vanajavesi, and mills beside the channel have long shaped both its employment and townscape. The former Myllysaari mill area now houses a museum tracing local industrial life, while the Sääksmäki district includes Visavuori, the former home and studio of sculptor Emil Wikström. Lake shores and wooded edges place Valkeakoski firmly within Finland’s inland lake country.
