Fengersfors Bruk

The ironworks at Fengersfors in the Dalsland region of Västra Götland, 180 km north of Göteborg and 95 km south-west of Karlstad, was founded in the late eighteenth-century and worked until 1884. A large paper mill was established on the site in the early twentieth century and operated until 1978. After a period of dereliction it was revived from 2002 by the Not Quite artists’ co-operative, and is now a centre for art, culture, the encouragement of enterprise and the study of industrial history. Most of the buildings and equipment used in paper production, including digesters and huge paper-making machines, have been retained, and the three-storey brick building with its cluster of chimneys retains the air of an industrial concern, although it now contains studios for artists and craftspeople, and spaces for exhibitions and performances.
