The Flat Iron, Industrial heritage building at Laxholmen in Norrköping, Sweden.
The triangular stone structure stands in the middle of Motala River, featuring a classical architectural design with multiple windows and elaborate exterior details.
The building served as a cotton weaving mill from 1917 to 1962 under the ownership of Holmens Bruks and Fabriks AB, representing the industrial era.
Since 1991, the building houses the Museum of Work, documenting Swedish labor history and industrial development through permanent and temporary exhibitions.
Visitors can reach the museum by crossing bridges from both river banks, with the entrance located at the narrow end of the triangular structure.
The building maximizes its position on Laxholmen island with its triangular shape, allowing water to flow around its stone foundation from multiple directions.
