When snowflakes are falling in the village street and you can hear the Christmas chorus sing and the sound of jingle bells its time to open the cozy Christmas at Hammarbacken. This year we celebrate Christmas with presenting traditions including horses and how coachman Eklöf and the Ironworks ower family celebrated Christmas. In our cozy Chistmas Coffee Shop you can taste traditional Christmas pastries. The museum shop is filled with lovely Christmas gifts for everyone.

Fiskars Museum
In 1649, an ironworks was founded by the River Fiskars. Nowadays it is known as the Fiskars Village. It used to produce e.g. pig iron, cast products, machine parts and copper and domestic items. Today Fiskars Oyj Abp is a widely known corporation, and the Ironworks a lively cultural environment where design, handicraft and art flourish all year round. The Fiskars Museum preserves and examines ironworks culture from the 17th century to this day. The Pohja local history archive holds documents of the fascinating history of the Ironworks and the municipality. You will find us at the Fiskars Upper Ironworks!
