excitement and adventure, tranquility and nature, luxury and high standards, or maybe a mix of it all? Regardless,<br />

many of Sweden’s biggest cities. We hope that this brochure will help orient you to all the wonderful opportunities<br />
we have to offer. We also hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Welcome to Skinnskatteberg!<br />

2 tablespoons Flour<br />
2 teaspoons Dried Mushroom<br />
Powder (or crushed dried mushrooms)<br />
1 liter Chicken Stock<br />

mushrooms and set aside. Add butter and chopped onion to<br />
the pot with mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes. Dust<br />
flour and dried mushrooms into pot and mix well. Add chicken<br />

Galleri Astley is an exciting cultural hub known among<br />
art enthusiasts throughout the world. Started in 1968 by<br />
Astley Nyhlén and family in Köping then moved in 1977<br />
to its current location in Uttersberg. The stately railway<br />
station from 1897 (designed by Theodor Dahl) became<br />
the new home for the gallery. In the mid-1980s Uttersberg’s<br />
historic brick magazine was renovated to accommodate<br />
the gallery’s expanded operations. Exhibitions<br />
are held year round in these adjoining buildings and a<br />
sculpture park emerges from the grounds outside. Works<br />
by established Swedish and international artists focus<br />
on painting, graphics and sculpture - from figurative to<br />
abstract expressionism. On the lower level of the large<br />
magazine there is a glass, ceramics and jewelry store<br />
by artisans from all over Sweden. The gallery also has a<br />
print and screen workshop, and arranges concerts and<br />
other activities.<br />

Museum Tree of Life by Ernst Neizvestny is the<br />
largest collection in Europe with sculpture, painting and<br />

Nikita Khrushchev’s tombstone, and two major monuments<br />
for Stalin’s victims in Magadan and Yekaterinburg, Russia,<br />
Neizvestny lived in the US from 1977 till his death in 2016.<br />
But summers in Uttersberg played an important role for this<br />
international artist as an unspoiled and tranquil retreat from<br />
the hectic pace of his New York life.<br />
Café Guldmisteln<br />
On the lower level of the gallery is Café Guldmisteln.<br />
Traditional homemade desserts and simple sandwiches<br />

Ekomuseum Bergslagen –<br />
a museum in the open air.<br />
The whole of this ‘museum’ encompasses 200 km from<br />
north to south, including 68 historically significant locations<br />
to visit. Cabins and forges, mines and quarries,<br />
mansions and castles, tiny smoke houses, village schools<br />
and churches, even whole villages are included within the<br />
frame of this Ecomuseum.<br />

Sweden’s iron industry began more than 2000 years ago.<br />
Of the 68 sites included in the Ecomuseum Bergslagen,<br />

means you have travels approximately 2700 years back<br />

WHEN iron first was created for 4500 million years ago.<br />

of the Bergslag forest.<br />
The trail passes through a<br />
variety of natural landscapes<br />
where small farming<br />

”Take the path leadning to stunning of life living”<br />

Nestled in the heart of Bergslagen between lakes<br />
Upper and Lower Vättern lies Skinnskatteberg. Skinnsberg,<br />
as locals call it, is a community of 4400 residents<br />
known for its nature, deep forests, fish-filled lakes,<br />
education opportunities with an active community and a<br />
rich cultural history.<br />
Skinnskatteberg began as an iron industry town in<br />
1626 until the factory closed in 1909. In the 1600’s only<br />
3 hammers were working to process iron ore, but by<br />
the middle of the 1700’s the number had increased to<br />
24. Monumental blue slag stone piles and other natural<br />
byproducts of iron production remain in the exact<br />
location today as for over 100 years ago. Among our<br />
local treasures is Skinnskatteberg’s own manor house<br />
constructed in the later part of the 18th century by the<br />
head of the local ironworks Wilhelm Hising and designed<br />
by Eric Palmstedt. Since 1944, the manor house<br />
has housed a forestry and agricultural school.<br />
Skinnskatteberg also boasts 7 preserved manor homes,<br />
the most tightly packed area of historic manor homes in<br />
all of Sweden. Next to Skinnskatteberg’s manor house<br />
lies the local church. It is said that the church is built<br />
on the site of the pilgrim’s resting place. Every year,<br />
monks passed by here on their pilgrimage to Nidaros,<br />
now known to us as Trondheim, in Norway.<br />
