Forsbacka bruk

The industrial complex features preserved buildings, including a laboratory, roasting house, forging press, rolling mill, and hammer facilities on Rörverksholmen island.

The first bar iron hammer in Forsbacka was mentioned in 1591, with iron transported by boat across the lake from Ovansjö and Torsåker regions.

The museum documents the daily experiences of workers through exhibitions, annual sound art projects, and visual installations that showcase industrial manufacturing practices.

The site provides six camping spots with electrical connections for recreational vehicles, along with ample parking space for different vehicle sizes.

The facility maintains a wooden bowling alley from the early 1900s next to the water, representing recreational activities of industrial workers.
