Põhjala Factory

One of Tallinn's most distinctive cultural and creative centers – Põhjala Factory — can be found on the Kopli Peninsula.

During the Soviet era, a rubber factory operated here, whose industrial heritage gives the area historical value and a unique architectural atmosphere. Today, the former factory has evolved into a vibrant creative center where history, culture, and modern urban life intersect.

A diverse selection of creative enterprises operates in Põhjala Factory. Visitors will find cozy eateries and bars, art exhibitions, and unique studio shops. Concerts, exhibitions, performances, and workshops take place year-round. During the summer months, the factory yard fills with the hustle and bustle of festivals, fairs, and open-air cinema, turning the area into a lively meeting place for locals and visitors alike.

In Põhjala Factory, urban nature and industrial heritage are valued — urban greenery grows in the yard, and historical factory buildings are carefully maintained and restored. This creates a unique atmosphere where industrial heritage and contemporary creative life meet.
