Grängesberg mines

The Grängesberg mine complex stretches across an extensive area with underground tunnels, industrial buildings, and exhibits displaying historical mining equipment and machinery.

Mining operations in Grängesberg began in 1875 and continued until December 1989, producing more than 150 million tons of iron ore throughout its operational period.

The site forms part of Ekomuseum Bergslagen, preserving the industrial legacy through exhibitions that document the daily experiences of miners and their communities.

Visitors access the mine complex through guided tours that include safety equipment, with the facility operating from April through October during daylight hours.

The mineral deposit at Grängesberg contains one of northern Europe's largest homogeneous iron ore bodies, with reserves estimated at 82.4 million tons.
