morning fog. This is a part of what characterizes our

you can see evidence of the glaciers retreat. Together
with a camera in hand we humbly explore, photograph
and discover this intensely beautiful and picturesque
landscape. In our guided excursions you can capture

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

Facebook: Museum Tree of Life by Ernst Neizvestny
Museum Tree of Life by Ernst Neizvestny is the
largest collection in Europe with sculpture, painting and
graphics by the Russian born Neizvestny. Famous for the
monument of the Lotus flower at the Assuan Dam in Egypt,
Nikita Khrushchev’s tombstone, and two major monuments
for Stalin’s victims in Magadan and Yekaterinburg, Russia,
Neizvestny lived in the US from 1977 till his death in 2016.
But summers in Uttersberg played an important role for this
international artist as an unspoiled and tranquil retreat from
the hectic pace of his New York life.
Café Guldmisteln
On the lower level of the gallery is Café Guldmisteln.
Traditional homemade desserts and simple sandwiches
served. Larger groups can be accommodated by

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

Sweden’s iron industry began more than 2000 years ago.
Of the 68 sites included in the Ecomuseum Bergslagen,
14 of them are in Skinnskatteberg. Visiting them all
means you have travels approximately 2700 years back
in time, from the earliest iron production at Röda Jorden
(The Red Earth) to present day—that is if we don’t count
WHEN iron first was created for 4500 million years ago.
Prepare yourself for an exciting journey of discovery
within Skinnskatteberg and Ecomuseum Bergslagen!

”Take the path leadning to stunning of life living”
29

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

Autumn
The candles light up the darkness
and the wool socks come
out again, Autumn is a time to
get cozy.
Of course there is still a lot to
do in Skinnskatteberg. Autumn
markets offer locally harvested
produce or an afternoon tea
served in a manor house and
the season’s start of the culture
center Korpen’s top-notch performances.
These are just a few of
the things to do when fall comes
around again.
spring
Greet spring with a round of
mini-golf, take a fika and listen
to the snow melting off the roofs,
eat a luxurious meal filled with
early spring vegetables, or treat
yourself to a spa day with heated
pool in the fresh spring air.
