Wikipedia: Pershyttan is a small mining town approximately 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south south west of Nora, Sweden (174 km west of Stockholm). It has been restored and kept mainly as a working museum of Bergslagen's mining and iron handling which started in the early 1300s. One of Sweden's best preserved charcoal-fuelled blast furnaces from 1856 can be found in Pershyttan.
