About This Museum

Honestly, the Bläse Limeworks isn't your typical museum; it's a sprawling, raw industrial site where you walk right into the massive quarries and kilns that once powered Sweden's lime industry. You can almost feel the heat and hear the clatter of a bygone era echoing off the stone walls. It’s a place that’s both gritty and strangely beautiful, where nature is slowly reclaiming the rugged man-made landscape. Exploring here feels less like a history lesson and more like an adventure.

Collection Highlights

The real stars are the colossal, weathered lime kilns themselves and the vast, dramatic quarry pits they serviced. You'll also find old tools, machinery used to crush and sort the stone, and informative displays explaining the whole fiery process from limestone to lime.

Visitor Information

Just a heads up, it looks like it's temporarily closed at the moment, so you'll definitely want to check their status before making the trip out to Lärbro on Gotland.

Architecture & Building

Forget a fancy building—the architecture here is pure, functional industrial heritage. Think of stark, stone-built kiln structures and machine houses designed for hard work, not for show, all set against a dramatic excavated landscape.
