Långö Ironworks

In the footsteps of the scythe smiths

For over 100 years, Långö Bruk was an industrial community whose name became known throughout the world. There were smithies, a manor house, a school, and everything else that belonged to a mill. Today, the smiths’ hammer blows have fallen silent, and only a couple of houses and a few house foundations remain.

Information about the tour

We hike through the area where Långö Ironworks once stood. We follow the history of the ironworks through times of boom and bust – from its very beginning to its end – exploring the workers, their daily lives, and the people who once lived here.
