Orrefors

Glass preceded iron production here in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1726, the ironworks started on the grounds of Orranäs manor. In the factory environment, the blacksmiths' homes and the hammer forge remain from the ironworks era. Glass production began in 1896 and several buildings were added at the turn of the century. The Vapenbäcksån river flows through the mill area and forms a pond at the mill.
