The Verla groundwood and board mill is a unique,
small-scale industrial complex from the early years of the Finnish wood
processing industry. Within its rural setting, the area includes mills, power
plants and workers’ housing. Only a handful of such settlements survive to the
present day.
The first groundwood mill at Verla was founded in 1872
but was destroyed by fire in 1876. A larger mill, founded in 1882, continued to
operate until 1964.
Verla is a UNESCO World Heritage site. (Not sure why
the postcard shows Werla, with a “ W”)
