According to sources, the chimneys in Norrköping are considered a symbol of the city's history. The municipality has decided to renovate the chimney at Kopparhammaren, which is a remnant from the time when the textile industry flourished in Norrköping. The chimney is described as an important and character-creating part of the Industrial Landscape.
" She added, "Today we only have three chimneys left from the time when wool and cotton were manufactured in this area. " Only three chimneys remain from that era. During the planned renovation, the chimney's base will be repaired, as it is currently threatened by broken stones and cracked concrete.
We should take care of the chimneys that remain.
" The specific safety incidents or inspections that led to this decision have not been disclosed. The renovation is financed by a special grant for cultural preservation, which is distributed annually by the County Administrative Board. The work is estimated to cost 285,000 SEK and will take place between April 1 and June 30.
The contractor responsible for the renovation has not been named.
Today we only have three chimneys left from the time when wool and cotton were manufactured in this area. So it's very nice that the chimney will be renovated.
It can be dangerous if stones come loose, so a renovation is required both for safety and aesthetic reasons.
