Göteborgs Remfabrik

Situated in the city centre of Göteborg, this mill is a typical working-place from the beginning of the 20th century and probably the best preserved mill from this period in all Scandinavia.

Originally a weaving mill for industrial belting, it was founded in 1891 and closed down in 1977. Very few changes were made during the last 30 years before closure. All the original looms, transmissions and tools are left in their places.

The City of Göteborg Council saved the buildings after closure, and today Remfabriken is run by an association of volunteers. Our friendly and dedicated volunteers maintain the machinery, manufacture ribbons and lace for the museum shop, and are here to show you their work.

If you choose a guided tour, you will see the original textile machinery at work and also some brought in following the closure of other mills such as the braiders and four Jacquard-controlled bobbin lace machines from Barmen in Germany.

We welcome you to this important  part of Sweden’s textile history!
