Kvarteret Bryggeriet

Central Sweden


At the end of Prästgatan is a collection of buildings that once housed a brewery and now contains several art galleries and studios. A collective of locals puts on a knockout gallery show in the main building each summer, including work by established and rising Swedish artists. The building itself is a work of art, restored just enough to be functional without losing any of its charm. Check online or ask at the main gallery for openings and evening events.
