[FIN] Turun entinen köysitehdas joka toimii nykyään Turun Taideakatemian tiloina. Pisin käytäväkohta tunnetaan nykyään nimellä Köysirata.

Arkkitehti Gunnar A. Wahlroosin suunnittelemat telakkayhtiö Ab Crichton Vulcan Oy:n uudet telakkahallit Aurajoen länsirannalla valmistuivat vuonna 1928. Niiden väliin tehtiin vuosina 1934-35 erikoinen pitkä yhdyskäytävä. Tämä käytävä toimi köysien valmistamisessa ja sillä oli pituutta 270 metriä. Yhteen liitetyt osat muodostivat pitkään Pohjolan pisimpänä olleen rakennuksen.

[EN] The former rope factory in Turku, which now serves as the premises of the Turku Academy of Arts. The longest corridor is now known as Köysirata (Rope Track).

The new shipyards of the shipyard company Ab Crichton Vulcan Oy on the west bank of the Aura River, designed by architect Gunnar A. Wahlroos, were completed in 1928. In 1934-35, a special long gateway was made between them. This corridor was used to make ropes and was 270 meters long. The connected parts formed the LONGEST building in the Nordic region for a long time.
