Mölndals Kvarnby

The historic Mölndals Kvarnby complex stands along rushing rapids, featuring restored industrial buildings, narrow paths, and traditional residential structures from different periods.

The water-powered mills at Mölndals Kvarnby, established in 1858, transformed the region into a significant industrial center for paper, textiles, and oil production.

Four distinct museums within the complex present exhibits about local manufacturing traditions, industrial development, and the social changes that shaped the community.

Visitors can access detailed information about the buildings and walking routes through digital guides, information signs, and brochures available at Mölndal City Museum.

Factory workers in the 1800s constructed their houses on factory land using loans from owners, creating a distinctive architectural layout that reflects industrial social structures.
