From mining community
to a place for discovery.
Iron ore was mined and iron produced in Långban as early as the sixteenth century. Manganese ore and dolomite were added later. Mining ended in 1972, but the buildings and stories remain.
Today you can encounter the mining village through exhibitions, guided visits, and its preserved environments. Värmlands Museum operates the visitor activities.
