Visit Gränsfors

In some places, history and tradition converge with modern times in a completely natural way. One such place is Gränsfors.

Firmly established along a meandering river, Gränsfors is situated in the north of Hälsingland. Just a short detour off the busy E4 motorway, you will find yourself in a world you thought no longer existed.

Would you like to VISIT our axe factory?

Experience how an axe from Gränsfors Bruk is made. During our high season, summer, we offer guided tours of the axe forge. In autumn, winter, and spring, you are welcome to visit the forge on your own. See you with us!

A vibrant culture of craft and industry has thrived here for hundreds of years. Mills, stove-builders, breweries, sawmills, forges and much more have been in operation along the river at one time or another.

Two of these fine craft-based industries still remain in full operation: Gränsfors Bruk makes its quality axes and Gränsfors Blomkruksfabrik turns out superb flowerpots.

Gränsfors is a living place above all, a place where history informs the modern pulse of life.
