Photographer’s Note

Forge at Ruotsinpyhtää (Strömfors in swedish). In 1744, Baron Johan Creutz´s son sold the rights to the Petjärvi estate and ironworks to two merchants, Jakob Forsell (later af Forselles) and Anders Nohrström. The refurbished ironworks was renamed Strömfors after the names of the owners. In 1746 it aquired a drop hammer and hearth, and the following year another hearth was built. In 1768 a sawmill and flourmill were built on the eastern side of the rapids.
