Holmen Tower
The Holmen factories were started in the 1620s by Louis de Geer and produced brass. The first tower on the site was built in 1629. During the ravages of the Russians in 1719, most of the factories were destroyed, as well as almost the entire city of Norrköping. The gate tower into the factory area was rebuilt in 1750 (see the sign over the portal), only the ground floor remained from 1629. The tower was designed by Johan Georg Strubel. A bell cast in 1735 hangs in the tower hood.
In 1806 a paper manufacture was also started.
