Stripa gruva, Mining architectural complex in Guldsmedshyttan, Sweden.

The industrial site spans 70 hectares and includes a complete iron ore mine with operational machinery, processing plants, and transportation systems.

Mining activities at Stripa began in 1440, with Gustav Vasa and Erik XIV ordering the resumption of mining operations for cannon production during the 1500s.

The functionalist architecture features monumental concrete structures and band tunnels that reflect the industrial development of Sweden's mining sector.

Walking trails guide visitors through the site, allowing examination of exposed iron ore specimens stored in barrels across the mining complex.

The mine contains the first electrical mining equipment in Sweden and introduced new methods for ore extraction and material sorting processes.
