The Korsa Works

"Visitors interested in industrial history should make an excursion to Korsa bruk, now protected as an industrial monument. The works were closed down in 1930, but the forge is still maintained with its water wheels and hammers - relics of the last Lancashire forge in Dalarna. In Korsa there are a museum and a documentary film, from the beginning of the century is shown." (DiscoverDalarna)

The excavated remains from the Viking town of Birka are a world heritage site. While in Björkö, you can marvel at the ancient monument area or lose yourself among the museum`s models, archaeological finds and reconstructions.
Birka itself is no longer standing. But you can learn all about the Viking town and its inhabitants during a guided tour of the ancient monument area. And don`t forget about the Birka Museum, enveloped in the lush countryside of Ångholmen Island - it`s a must-see when you`re visiting this world heritage site.
The Birka Exhibition The museum`s permanent exhibition features miniature models, archaeological finds and reconstructions. Based on a series of excavations, the models depict the town at the time that it was home to some 700 people. One model gives you a little snapshot of what an early spring day in the 9th century might have been like. While builders hammer away at houses and boats, fishermen are out on the ice. Peek into the houses and find out what the local population is up to. Another model offers a glimpse of the harbour. Ships and boats of various sizes and shapes are dropping anchor or setting off. St. Ansgar, a Benedictine monk who is coming to spread the Word, stands expectantly in one of the boats.
The Museum Shop While you`re in Birka, take a look around our museum shop. All of the merchandise is connected in one way or another with the Viking town. Rummage through our book collection, postcards, glass beads, jewellery, and exquisitely crafted replicas of Viking objects from the excavation area. Take our word for it - you`re in for a real treat.
