Horndals bruk, Industrial heritage site in Avesta Municipality, Sweden.
The Horndals bruk complex spans across a former iron production facility with multiple buildings, including a preserved smelting works and foundry structures.
Isaac Kock established the iron mill in 1652, bringing Walloon forgers to operate the facility, which continued production for over three centuries until 1979.
The site represents Swedish industrial development through its preserved structures, demonstrating the evolution of iron manufacturing methods from the 17th to the 20th century.
Visitors can explore the industrial park year-round, with guided tours available that showcase the remaining structures and manufacturing equipment from different periods.
The facility contributed to economic research through the Horndal Effect, a phenomenon where productivity increased without additional investment during the early 1900s.
