The Engelsberg Foundry was an interesting place. We were able to partake in a private tour (available on the website) which made the stop well worth our time. The first building we visited was the where the iron was separated from the ore. It is a huge multistory building with a large water wheel that ran the crusher, after which the rock went into the furnace and pig iron was separated from the surrounding rock. The pig iron was further processed in the building that housed the Blacksmiths, where it was heated and pounded and heated and pounded to remove the charcoal. From here it was shipped in rods to Stockholm where it it was bought and sold to folks from around the world.

Schade um den schönen Ort, hier bleibt einem einiges verschlossen. Wenn man sowieso vorbeikommt: anschauen. Extra anreisen: nein. Ich hätte gedacht, dass ein Unesco Weltkulturerbe gewisse Vorgaben bezüglich Besucherrezeption und Besucherlenkung bzw. Information erfüllen muss. Hier ist dies alles nicht existent. Leider ist an der Engelbergs Bruk Eisenhütte der Umgang mit Besuchern seltsam bzw. für Unesco Welterbe unangemessen: kein Infocenter, keine Öffnungszeiten einzig auf 2 einzelne Führungen um 11.30 und 14.00 Uhr weist ein selbst gedrucktes Zettelchen hin. Klar, das Anwesen ist privat bewohnt, aber mit einem Audioführer könnte man doch gut Informationen zu allen Gebäuden bekommen. Das Gelände ist schön und die alte Eisenhütte historisch wertvoll, doch hier ist Luft nach oben. So hat man nichts, außer Täfelchen an einzelnen Häusern und in den Eingängen ziemlich oft das Schild: Privat kein Zutritt. Wir gehen also alleine für uns, mit besagten Täfelchen.

Fantastic place to visit. For those that like historical industry's or just want to see something really massive, this is the place. Beatuiful areas and soroundings. On the summers you can go by railbus from Ängelsberg to Kärrgurvan every Sunday to see even more historical areas.

We had a very great tour around Engelsberg with super guides that really could answer all about how people lived , worked , and slept and how their family worked. This both both on working families as well as for the family's that during the years owned Engelberg. Including current history. We also got a nice briefing on the fire around Engelsberg and we visited a sight point a few miles away to see what happened a few years ago and how nature restored itself naturally. A recommended visit at Engelsberg but check in advance what you can see during the year and...

Mycket intressant och fin miljö. Verkligen sevärt. Dock måste man gå visningen för att få en ordentlig inblick i livet på bruket samt få se byggnaderna ordentligt och höra dess historia. 5 stjärnig miljö och rekommenderar verkligen. Guiden var också 5 stjärnig. Det är dock mycket svårt att boka visning. Finns inget telefonnummer. Mail svarar de mycket långsamt eller inte alls på. Bokning på nätet hänvisas till men det gick inte genom föra eller ens komma åt. Hade jag inte haft en mycket speciell anledning att besöka platsen, så hade jag gett upp besöksförsöken. Nu fick jag åka på vinst och förlust. Hade även tänkt se närliggande Oljeön, men den dåliga informationen på Engelbergsbruk förstörde de planerna då visningarna krockade. Förmiddagsvisningen fick jag aldrig veta att den fanns. Så 2 stjänor på administration och information och bokning tyvärr. Även mera informations skyltar eller kartor med information om byggnader och området borde finnas. En besvikelse att ingen information alls fanns om de smeder och andra som arbetat på bruket. Inga namnlistor eller liknande. Inga valloner som verkat där nämndes. Finns mycket historiskt att förbättra för besökare. Men i det stora hela ett fantastiskt ställe där mina anfäder verkat och vars barn tom drunknat i den vackra...
