== History == The Gysinge forge was founded in 1668, when Peder Swensson received on April 29 the privileges to create a blast furnace. Access to energy from the river as well as to wood made this site, which had previously been used as a summer pasture site for the villagers of Klappsta, a particularly favorable location. The first blast furnace was built in 1670 on what is now hyttbacken, and production of materials for the Swedish army began. At the end of the 1670s, Anders Larsson Höök became co-owner of the forge. In 1677, Anders Larsson Höök received from the king the right to exploit the Dannemora mine as well as the woods around the forge, and soon after the forge received the right to produce wrought iron. The iron produced was of high quality and was in great demand abroad. The forge was enlarged several times during the 18th century.
