Åminne Bruk

Åminne Bruk is a well-preserved industrial monument run by the Åminne ironworks museum.

At the turn of the century, the business was moved from old Åminne to its current location, next to Lake Vidöstern. The main building is made of red brick with stepped stone gables. The building housed a blast furnace, a foundry, a washing plant, a core shop and a mechanical workshop. There are also three separate buildings in the industrial area, a coal bunker, a warehouse and a weighing house. Åminne Bruk is a cultural heritage site and a well-preserved industrial site with machines and tools. It is a listed building. The blast furnace has been preserved, as has the foundry, where you will find an exhibition on the history of sea ore and iron processing in Åminne. There is also a three-cylinder blower and a coal house. Operations at the ironworks ceased in 1934, with about 70 people employed at the time. The foundry at the ironworks continued operation until the 1990s.
