Semla Area, Industrial heritage site at Semla, Sweden.
The Semla Area consists of a network of locks, dams, and hydroelectric power stations along the Kolbäcksån river in central Sweden.
During the 1890s, Semla power stations supplied electricity to the Fagersta works, enabling the installation of modern cogging mills for metal production.
The site forms part of Ekomuseum Bergslagen, a foundation across seven municipalities dedicated to preserving Sweden's industrial technology development.
The hydroelectric power stations at Semla continue to generate electricity, with modern infrastructure integrated into the historical industrial complex.
The water management system at Semla demonstrates the transition from direct waterwheel power to electrical generation through interconnected waterways.
