Visit Gränsfors Bruk
The Axe Factory
Since 1902, axes have been forged at Gränsfors Bruk. During the peak season, it is possible to book a guided tour of the forge.
FROM STEEL TO FINISHED AXE
It’s equally as fascinating to see the craftsmanship as it is to hear about it. But Gränsfors Bruk is also a workplace, so we must also keep safety in mind, both for you as a visitor and for our employees.
