Every design for Ludvika

At the Ludvika Gammelgård the history hangs on in the timber walls, and that says something about the whole town. Ludvika lies by lake Väsman in the middle of Västerbergslagen, in southern Dalarna, and is the main town of its municipality. Everyday life and the Bergslagen inheritance meet here as a matter of course, with Väsman glinting at the edge of daily life.

An ordinary day can take you past the Mineral museum and the Mining museum, where the district's mining history lives on in stones and tools. The children want to go to the Aquarium, while others take a turn up towards Lyviksberget for the view. Ludvika Herrgård is a reminder that the town has always had a foot in the grand, in the middle of the down-to-earth Bergslagen landscape.

It is no large town, but it has character - fourth largest in Dalarna and a place where you recognise faces. The Mining museum catches exactly what makes Ludvika Ludvika: the work, the ore and the pride in what has been built. Wear the town's map across your chest and you carry that Bergslagen spirit with you, however far from home you end up.
