This is the only factory building remaining in the area. Between 1881 and 1889 there was a dynamite factory here. In 1889 it was demolished to give way to the new factory, which became known as the "Syran". The new factory was designed by Belgian engineer Gustaf Delaplace and was completed in 1891.

The longer part of the building was divided into three parts. The first one was used for the storage of carbon, another part for the storage of sulfur coffin and the third part contained furnaces for heating the silicon. Upstairs in the high part of the building there were large lead-lined chambers and concentrators of sulfuric acid, which is an important component of nitroglycerin production. The nitroglycerin was subsequently sent down to the kneading house by the water where the dynamite mass was hand pressed and patronized along the southern shore. After that, the now finished dynamite rods were beaten into a brown, paraffinized paper and packaged in cartons weighing one kilogram in each for further distribution.

In 1920 all explosives production was moved from this area to Gyttorp in Västmanland. Vinterviken was mainly used for storage and distribution. However, some test blasts and other experiments were carried out until 1988.

After the business was completely closed down, the building was abandoned. It was renovated only in 1998, and for about a decade the renovated building housed the Sculpture House. Since 2008, it has been a cafe, restaurant and banquet hall.
