Rademachersmedjorna

The museum complex contains six preserved forge workshops from the 1600s alongside buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries in central Eskilstuna.

King Charles X Gustav established this blacksmith manufactory in 1658 by relocating skilled craftsmen from Latvia to create Sweden's first centralized metalworking facility.

The Berglindska Smedjan forge maintains its original 1650s layout and demonstrates traditional metalworking techniques during summer demonstrations and special events.

Visitors can access the outdoor areas throughout the year, while the museum forge and specialized workshops open during summer months and scheduled events.

Children learn about 19th-century daily life at the Smetuna play smithy, where they experience historical activities like washing clothes and food preparation.
