Sågen

Deep within Västra Götaland's lush landscapes, just outside the idyllic town of Götene, an unforgettable journey through time awaits, transporting you to an era when forests shaped lives and landscapes, and sawmills formed the pulsating heart of the community. Here, at the ancient site known as Sågen, visitors are welcomed to immerse themselves in the rich and vibrant history of the Swedish timber industry. Experience a genuine glimpse back in time where the fresh scent of sawn timber and the distant echoes of hard work bring to life a period when humans lived in symbiosis with nature, long before today's highly automated production methods took over the craft of woodworking.
