The mill beside the water in Gästrike-Hammarby01 / THE MILL THROUGH TIME
Water gave power.
People brought life.
Hammarby’s history has long followed the water. Ironworking is documented here from the 16th century, and the dam has served iron production, milling and sawmilling.
The mill has its roots in the late 18th century. According to the Swedish National Heritage Board, its foundations and first storey probably date from the toll mill built in 1793. Drawings from 1798 and 1804 show features recognisable in the building today.
Read more about the place
The village around the mill has changed. In the 19th century, Hammarby became an important ironworking community. When the ironworks closed in 1886, a sulphite pulp mill followed. New activities have replaced old ones, while the buildings and water connect past and present.
Today the mill remains a place of work. Ingredients become meals in the restaurant, while local businesses contribute their craft, ideas and expertise.

Mats Mattsson and a new life for the mill
Mats Mattsson has a place in the mill’s more recent history. A building consultant with a strong commitment to Hammarby, he worked to preserve the village’s buildings and keep them in use. The mill became part of that commitment.
During Mats’s time as property owner, the building hosted a restaurant, meetings and cultural events. Today that development continues through the people who work and meet here, caring for the building and making room for new ideas.
