A home with history
Änkehuset sits at the heart of Söderfors, at Bruksplan 5, and is one of many buildings that bear witness to the time when the works community was the lifeblood of society. It’s a reminder of how people lived when the iron foundry was in its heyday.
The museum offers an authentic glimpse into everyday life from centuries past — a world far removed from modern comfort. If you’re curious about local history and how Söderfors grew from a small settlement into a thriving works community, Änkehuset is a must-see.
For history enthusiasts and local historians
A visit makes perfect sense if you want to understand how people lived in this area, or simply get a better sense of Söderfors during its industrial golden age. It’s a genuine piece of local cultural heritage — unpretentious and real.
