Granbergsdal Ironworks (Swedish: Granbergsdals bruk) is an ironworks and blast furnace[1] in Granbergsdal, a village in Karlskoga Municipality in Sweden, 10 km (6 mi) north of central Karlskoga.[2]

## History

[edit]

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]
