Reserva Cultural de Klippan, Cultural reserve in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Reserva Cultural de Klippan sits along the Gota Alv River and contains several historical buildings, including structures from the former Carnegie Brewery. The site features various structures from different periods arranged near the water's edge.
The oldest structure on the site, Bagarstugan, was built in 1762 during the Swedish East India Company period as a residence for Captain Palm. The area later became an important industrial center with the brewery and various workshops.
The red stone gallery within the reserve displays contemporary art exhibitions and serves as a meeting point for local and international artists. Visitors can encounter current artworks and experience the active artistic community that gathers here.
The site is accessible year-round and provides information through local tourism offices. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes as pathways along the river can be uneven in places.
The site of a former anchor smithy from the 1770s later became a herring smokehouse, showing how the local industry shifted over time. This transformation from metalwork to food processing reveals the area's changing economic focus.
