Wägerths konstsmide - Wira bruk

In the old Inspector’s house at Wira you can see the decorative ironwork being made here today. The building itself dates back to 1793. Next door there is a carriage house with ironworks display and various special exhibitions.

Forges
The forge in use today is located at Finnbergavägen 6 where the blacksmiths PO Davidsson, Jonas Wägerth and Jimmy Kindbladh do their daily work. The shop is tended by Sara Wägerth Elm. Jonas Wägerth is the overall manager. By the lower fall there is one 18th century and one 19th century forge. There is also a more recent forge which is from time to time in use in summer.
