Östersjöfors smedja (smithy) has limited open days, but we were fortunate to find it was open one day during our stay in Sweden. An amazing place full of very old metal working tools - and the forge was working with someone demonstrating how it was done in the 'old days'. The smithy is a work in progress as there are bits of it still being restored, but you get the feeling that time has stood still. No modern gimicks, signage or fancy displays. Just the original building with its grime and mass of metal all over the place. No sign of the 'Health and Safety' police anywhere!
