The inn at Grythyttan was established in 1640 when Queen Kristina upgraded Grythyttan from a town to a city, (which gave Grythyttan more privileges) in hopes of benefiting from the silver thought to be in the town’s mines. She quickly revoked the title when none was found.
For centuries, travellers came here for food and hospitality. The inn played a central role in the village and built a good reputation that stretched beyond the borders of Sweden. But then, in 1878, the railroad came to town. A modern hotel was built and the inn was left in the background. It eventually shut down as a hotel. The old rooms were turned into rental apartments for the incoming craftsmen and businessmen, and then later occupied by Finnish refugees and single mothers.
