You can go on a dramatised tour with people in period costume. If you're opting for a shorter loop you can cross the bridge to the other side. Its placement is quite unique in the middle of the river. So named because of the adjacent seven-cornered building that looks like an iron.
The house was built by Holmen Works and used as a cotton mill in the 1850s.
A Visitor's Guide to Norrköping
Walking tour through Norrköping's Industrial Landscape
Spinning mills, cotton factories and a variety of other industries were established along the rapids of Motala Ström in the 17th century and onwards.
It's a way to socialise with your friends, somewhat akin to the pub culture in the UK or having an Espresso in Italy. The Knäppingsborg Quarters date from the the 18th century and has a long history of flour and snuff manufacturing. We're going to continue on the southern side for a little while longer though, so head back the way you came and turn right on "Norra Grytsgatan"

The Statue of Moa Martinson
On your right handside right along the river you'll find a powerful bronze statue of the beloved Swedish author Moa Martinson.
The buildings date from the late 1800s, however wool cloth has been produced here for more than 300 years.
Once you cross the bridge a fantastic riverside walk awaits back down the river. Service in Sweden can sometimes be a lil lacklustre compared to many other countries. The statue is placed right in the quarter where her mother used to toil in the textile factories.
The backdrop is a beautiful view of a still part of the river and the majestic factory buildings on the other side mirrored in the water.
You can of course walk any direction you like, make the loop shorter or longer, and pick and choose what sounds interesting! The main focus is Swedish modernism. It became the largest and most impressive industrial building in all of Norrköping. Modern casual restaurant with house-made pasta. These days the "Heat Church", if you translate it from Swedish, is an arena for entertainment and conferences.
“Norrköping is a fantastic place to try Swedish cuisine and specialties.It was water power from the river and the good harbour that made very rapid industrial growth possible. They have a couple of hearty lunch options each day, often Swedish home-style classics, along with salads, soups and sandwiches You can stop here in the afternoon for cinnamon rolls and coffee, or come later to the brasserie for bistro style dishes and a glass of wine.
There is a lovely little park next to the river. Their freshly stone-oven baked sourdough bread is to die for, and the aromas filling the place are amazing. Allow yourself plenty of time for stops to enjoy delicious Swedish food, visit the museums and take in the views. This is the same site where the first paper makers toiled in the 17th century.
