Come and witness the traditional methods of brickmaking from the olden days. Observe the time-honoured techniques and simple tools used in brick production. The manufacturing in Almvik started in the beginning of the 17th century. Since the mill was shut down in 1971, the brickworks transformed into a fascinating and popular museum, preserved exactly as it was when the factory shut down.
