Almgren Silk-Weaving Mill

Description of Almgren Silk-Weaving Mill

These weaving machines are almost as old as the factory - 140 years old.

The Almgren Silk-Weaving Mill in central Stockholm is the best preserved industrial premise in Scandinavia, producing silk for 170 years.

This silk factory in Stockholm is a unique and living display of the industrial revolution of Sweden in the early 1900th century, and it was once the largest employer for women in Scandinavia.

The silk mill is still in function using the very same machines that was bought in 170 years ago by Almgren.
