The factory building
In Vinterviken, one of Nobel's factory buildings remains. It was designed by the Belgian engineer Gustaf Delaplace and completed in 1891. Parts of the building were used to store coal and pyrite. Other parts were used for heating silicon, concentrating sulphuric acid and producing nitroglycerine. After the process in the factory, the dynamite mass was sent down to the water to be kneaded and pressed by hand. The rods were then cartridged along the southern side of the cape and the dynamite rods were ready. They were wrapped in brown paraffin paper and packed in cartons.
Today, the old factory houses a café, banquet hall, conference and stage. And this is where Sweden's Master Chef was filmed.
