Here lies the ruins of the "machine building". The house was a two-storey residential building for miners. A steam engine was installed in one of the rooms in the house, hence the name of the house. The steam engine probably provided the driving force for a mine rod up to the Torskebäcks mine. After the mine was closed in 1906, the house served as a poorhouse until the 1920s.

From the photo it looks like a normal residential building.

An old house with one room that housed a steam engine. Belonging to the village where iron ore was grown.
