Möhkö’s unique cultural environment includes buildings, the remnants of industrial history, memories of war history, non-indigenous plants brought in by the war and beautiful nature. The ironworks also has a unique restored canal system restored. There is the cafe, Möhkön Manta, situated in the old residential barge.
