Huseby bruk

Huseby Bruk is a former ironworks complex with buildings from multiple centuries located in Grimslöv. The site includes a water mill with four wheels, a merchant house, a two-story manor with twenty rooms, plus various workshops and outbuildings.

The complex was founded in 1629 and produced pig iron from swamp deposits for centuries. Operations later expanded when a foundry began manufacturing cannons and cast-iron stoves until the 1950s.

The Statarmuseet displays how farm laborers lived and worked during the 1930s. A fully furnished apartment from the 1950s gives visitors a direct sense of everyday life from that era.

The grounds are easily explored on foot and include a visitor information point housed in the old smithy building. The shop there offers a selection of local crafts, books, and products you can take home.

The former granary now houses Naturum Kronoberg, which documents how the local landscape and wildlife have changed since the Ice Age. This collection reveals a surprisingly different natural history from what visitors might expect today.
