HISTORY

Klondyke House is a historic former industrial building in Kerava.
Finland's first cement factory was located on the site of the building since 1869.
The first parts of the current building were completed in 1913 on the site of a cement factory for the use of Oy Nahkimo Ab, which manufactured footwear for the First World War.

The factory buildings were transferred in 1927 to Savion Gummitehdas Oy.
The building was expanded from the 1920s to the 1950s on several occasions and in many directions so that the oldest parts of the factory remained inside the newer wing buildings. The building served as a rubber factory until 1985, and the rest of the time it was owned by Nokia, the former Gummitehdas in Finland.

In 1985, the property was transferred from Nokia to the real estate investment company Keravan Klondyke Oy, which began to develop the building's operations. According to the plans of architects Hannu Kiiskilä and Harri Haga, the interior of the renovated building was renovated into a leisure centre while the layout remained restrained.
By the 1990s, the building houses the Kerava Business School, the Penitentiary Training Centre and the Kerava Art Museum, which opened in December 1990.
In February 1991, the indoor amusement park Fanfaari, later Planet FunFun, was opened.
