Kvarnvikens kvarn
Kvarnvikens kvarn, Working life museum in Bromma, Sweden
Kvarnvikens kvarn is a mill complex in Stockholm with operational grinding and sawing equipment. The buildings house water turbines and a steam engine dating to 1883, showing how such facilities functioned during that era.
A tobacco manufacturer built this complex in 1882 to grind flour for Stockholm's residents. The machines and structures from that era remain, documenting the industrial expansion that shaped the area during the late 1800s.
The museum shows how people once relied on water and steam power to work and produce goods. Visitors can observe the connection between these machines and the lives of workers who depended on mills like this one in their daily routines.
The museum opens on select Sundays, particularly during warmer months when the old machinery can be operated. Visitors should wear comfortable footwear since the facility features stairs and tight spaces.
The complex sits beside a stream that once powered its machines by connecting two lakes. Few other mills of this type have survived in working order anywhere in Europe.
