Forsviks bruk, Industrial heritage site in Forsvik, Sweden

The Forsviks bruk complex contains exhibition spaces, a mechanical workshop, a foundry, and a lumber mill spread across multiple historical buildings.

Dating back over 600 years, Forsviks bruk became the first workshop industry in the Skaraborg region, establishing crucial metal and wood processing operations.

The metallurgy exhibitions at Forsviks bruk demonstrate the technical evolution of Swedish industrial processes from medieval times through the modern era.

The industrial heritage site welcomes visitors from May 20 to September 8, with guided tours available during summer months and group bookings from April.

The site houses the construction area where the paddle steamer Eric Nordevall II, which now travels along Göta Canal, was built.
