During the following decades they only produced munitions for the Crown but as time passed, the mill expanded and during the 19th century it was one of the largest in Sweden.

This revolutionary method was used in Gysinge until the shutdown of the mill in 1926.If you visit Gysinge today, you can combine a visit to this splendid cultural heritage with great fishing and good food at the Gysinge Wärdshus.
