Svartvik bears the memories from 200 years of northern Swedish industrial history, evolving from a loading dock to a shipyard, steam sawmill, and pulp factory. Today, Svartvik will be a point of interest with displays of its history, park like environment, playgrounds for the children, one of the oldest water towers in Sweden and a skittle alley, where you can try to play just like the patrons did during the peak of the logging industry. Visit the exhibition featuring a 7-meter-long model of Svartvik in the 1930s. In the summer, a variety of activities are organised by the Svartvik Days Association. In the winter, image and storytelling evenings with historical themes are arranged. Dine at the manor house, enjoy a coffee at Café Svartvik, or visit the antique shop.
