In the year 1682 the Hafla hammer mill started to produce iron. It went on til 1924 when it ended. In 1934 the hammer was declared a national museum, and the old hammer smiths were there for one day working again.Since then it has been quiet,with the hammer smiths long gone. But the last few years enthusiasts have slowly restored the hammer, and today we were able to forge iron once again in the 333 year old smithy for the first time in a decade.
