**********************************

- Factory Bilnes (ЗАВОДЪ БИЛЬНЕСЪ)

- The factory was founded in June 1641. The Swedish mining industrialist Carl Billsten founded a metallurgical plant in the settlement of Pohja. In those years, the territory - the Swedish-Finnish Empire. The Thirty Years War in Europe (1618 - 1648), required a large amount of iron needed for the production of weapons. Iron smelting and processing enterprises began to be built all over Europe. The Swedish-Finnish Empire did not lag behind the whole of Europe. Masters from France and Belgium were brought in to introduce modern technologies for that time into production.

After the annexation of Finland to the Russian Empire (1809-1917), Billnes became a weapons forge for the tsarist army, producing officer daggers, sapper shovels, axes, barbed wire shears, etc.
