Engelsbergs oljefabrik, Industrial heritage museum on Barron Island, Vastmanland County, Sweden
The Engelsberg Oil Factory contains eight preserved buildings, including cooking houses, oil cellars, and residential structures spread across the island.
Built in 1875, this oil refinery processed crude oil from Pennsylvania and produced kerosene, weapon grease, and machine lubricants until its closure in 1927.
The factory buildings demonstrate the evolution of Swedish industrial processes and technological innovations during the late nineteenth century industrial revolution.
Visitors reach the museum by taking the Petrolia boat service, which operates during the summer season from mainland Sweden to Barron Island.
This facility stands as the oldest preserved oil refinery in the world, complete with its original equipment and industrial infrastructure from the 1800s.
