Granbergsdal Ironworks (Swedish: Granbergsdals bruk) is an ironworks, blast furnace,^[1] in Granbergsdal, a village in Karlskoga Municipality in Sweden, 10 km (6 mi) north of central Karlskoga.^[2]

History

Designated as a listed building in 1986, the ironworks benefits from cultural and historical protection.^[3]^[1]

Founded in 1642 by Mårten Eriksson, Granbergsdal Ironworks emerged in response to the increased demand for iron during the tumultuous period of the Thirty Years' War.^[3] However, operations at the ironworks ceased in 1925.

The 2023 renovation of the works was delayed in May due to the discovery of a previously unknown standing historical house.^[4]
