A Short History of Ramn\u00e4s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first parts of the iron mill were built in Ramn\u00e4s already in the year 1590. It was Katarina Stenbock, the widow of the former Swedish King Gustav Vasa, who built a trip hammer here. The hammer became known as the King’s Hammer. The mill was modernized and expanded during the 17th century and production has over the centuries included wrought iron and short-link chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production has in more recent years been close to being discontinued. However, it has survived and it is today multiple companies that stand for the production in Ramn\u00e4s, short-link chains are still one part of the output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
