Olofsfors Ironworks is one of Sweden's best preserved ironworks, founded in 1762. Nordmaling´s most popular tourist attraction with 25,000 visitors a year. This mill town has a functioning waterpowered
helve hammer with blower, blast furnace, a chain smithy, a manor house and over 60 worker's homes. The manor house was built in 1883 for the mill manager and today serves as a restaurant, conference and party centre. The mill comes to life in the summers when craftsmen are active in the different buildings, including the smithy, craftsmen, and painters. There are also exhibitions at the area.
