Lapphyttan, Medieval iron production site in Norberg Municipality, Sweden.

The excavation site contains a complete medieval iron production facility with furnaces, forges, and workshops spread across the historical grounds.

Between 1150 and 1350, Lapphyttan operated as one of Europe's earliest blast furnaces, producing cast iron that was processed into wrought iron cakes.

The site demonstrates the development of Swedish metallurgy through preserved structures and artifacts that influenced regional industrial practices.

The visitor center Berghuset opens daily during summer months, offering exhibitions, information services, and a café with regional refreshments.

Nya Lapphyttan features the only reconstructed medieval blast furnace in existence, allowing visitors to understand historical iron production methods.
