The works at Edsbro manufactured pig iron between 1680 and 1894. There is still a blast furnace and a locksmith’s here. The blast furnace monopoly moved here from Skebo in 1686 and the last blowing took place in 1919. The site’s environment is well preserved with a works street and long rows of red houses.
Edsbro is a historic area. There is a large burial site with standing stones, and near the blast furnace you’ll find one of Norrtälje’s 37 hillforts. Edsbro church is from the 1200s and is richly decorated with paintings. The folk museum at Åsavallen features a spinning wheel factory, fire engine museum, and school and postal museum. In the parish hall you’ll find tourist information during the summer.
