Cultural heritage

Varkaus has a rich architectural heritage. Varkaus's multi-layered industrial building stock tells the story of both the history of industry and the phases of the surrounding community. A significant preserved entity is the Old Varkaus area next to the factory, where the residential buildings for the factory workers and the old Factory School form a coherent entirety.

You can explore the cultural environments of the towns of Central Savo on the saranat.fi website, which offers online exhibitions, tasks, timelines and much more cultural environment information.
