The Neo-Gothic church was constructed in 1859–1863. The building is known, among other things, for its 72-metre tall tower and Magnus Enckell's stained glass. On the outside, the church represents the Neo-Gothic style but on the inside, the church follows the late 19th century National Romantic style. Pori's Orthodox Church is located in the Käppärä area of the city. The highlights of the church include its outer architecture as well as the iconostasis indoors. On days when the church is open, the eight bells of the church toll, followed by a short prayer service, at 1.00pm - 1.10pm. Liturgy takes place 2nd Sunday of the month, and vigils and liturgy take place 4th weekend of the month. Church of Ahlainen Church of Reposaari The oldest church in Pori, the beautiful wooden church of Ahlainen, was completed in 1796. At a later time, the church was expanded into the shape of a cross. The church owns several items from the 17th century and the altar piece, "Jesus Blesses Children" was painted by Elin DanielssonGambogi. Reposaari's fell church in the Norwegian style has a hexagonal shape and its bell tower is octagonal. The church is a popular sight on the maritime island. Service takes place on Sundays at 12pm. Church of Noormarkku Church of Lavia The beautiful stone church of Noormarkku was completed in 1933 and it is located by the busy Pori-Jyväskylä road, in the corner of Vanha Vaasantie and Kirkkotie. The Church of Lavia was completed in 1823. It is a church in the shape of a cross with a straight stem and also includes a gable tower. On the church yard rests the Great Famine (1867–1868) memorial. For more information and the opening hours of the church please contact our tourist information (see page 3). 26 Noormarkku ironworks Explore the history of the ironworks The Noormarkku ironworks area in Pori is still perfect for grasping a sense of the area's traditional atmosphere. The area's historical buildings are still in use, serving visitors. Noormarkku ironworks was established in 1806. The Ahlström family gained ownership of the ironworks in 1870, after which the prime time of the ironworks began. For example, houses for three generations were built in the area: Isotalo, Havulinna and the world renowned Villa Mairea, designed by architect Alvar Aalto. Today, the exceptionally large ironworks area is a valuable entity both architecturally and cultural historically. Nowadays, there are comfortable accommodation options in the area's recently renovated buildings. Alternatively, you can host meetings, parties or receptions in stylish premises. www.ahlstrominruukit.fi A guided tour at the Ahlström Voyage exhibition, in the recently renovated historic and unique Saw Museum of Makkarakoski or at Villa Mairea turns a meeting or a celebration into something you will never forget. 27 27 Ahlström Voyage The unique Saw Museum The extensive Ahlström Voyage exhibition sheds light on both Ahlström's history as well as the modern days of the Ahlström Group. The exhibition focuses on the architecture of the Noormarkku ironworks area, the construction of the ironworks to what we see today, the sources of livelihood and the residents. The saw in Makkarakoski sounded for the last time in February 1956. The original equipment, dating from the 19th century, was left as is. For this reason, the saw contains a piece of industrial history that has been untouched for nearly 60 years. There is also a small museum shop in the old workshop. The history of the ironworks can also be explored during guided walking tours. The building with the saw was renovated in 2014 to serve as a museum and the all the saw-related objects and some of the equipment have been preserved. The saw area is also the location of an exhibition that demonstrates the sawing process and the refining of timber. Such saw museums apparently do not exist elsewhere in Europe. The historic saw museum is open to groups by reservation. 28 ACCOMMODATION Hotels HOTEL AMADO | Keskusaukio 2, tel. +358 (0)2 631 0100, www.amado.fi dreams Sweet Travelling calls for sweet dreams that help you feel refreshed and ready to enjoy new experiences in the morning.
