The eventful history of Billnäs in southern Finland is almost 400 years long. The previously prosperous ironworks has taken a step back and given room for modern industry.
Today it has become an idyllic village that tourists admire. The past is, however, very much present in Billnäs: the oldest residential and
commercial buildings in the village are from the 1700s, and the old craftsmanship still thrives.
