History

Designated as a listed building in 1986, the ironworks benefits from cultural and historical protection. [3] [1]

Founded in 1642 by Mårten Eriksson, Granbergsdal Ironworks emerged in response to the increased demand for iron during the tumultuous period of the Thirty Years' War. [3] However, operations at the ironworks ceased in 1925.

The 2023 renovation of the works was delayed in May because of the discovery of a previously unknown standing historical house. [4]
