Lohikoski mill

The stone structures of the old sawmill remain on the east side of the river. The mill no longer grinds grain, but the small power station is still in use - generating electricity for the national grid. The current company is Lohikoski Mylly Oy. The equipment used to grind the grain is on display and visitors can learn about its history. The old mill building, together with the other buildings and structures, is an integral and well-preserved whole, which is a national heritage site of the National Board of Antiquities.

Beautiful landscapes and diverse nature

Near the mill is the Koskela pasture - a traditional biotope of national importance. Koskela Pasture is a diverse and beautiful complex of meadows and varied woodland (about 10 ha) on both sides of the mill. Its value is enhanced by the diversity of traditional biotope types and vegetation, several species of note (13 in total), the yak and the summer tit, which are of particular interest, and the regionally endangered meadow mint. In addition, the area has a long and continuous grazing history and is of landscape and cultural-historical value
