The hand paper mill is located in the middle of the Kingdom of Crystal along Road 25 between V\u00e4xj\u00f6 and Kalmar. It is also easily accessible by train, as the coast-to-coast line between G\u00f6teborg and Kalmar stops at the station in Lessebo.<\/p>\n<p>To this day, the more than 300-year-old hand paper mill is running on a commercial basis. The production methods are traditional, using a Hollander beater, furnish, and deckle frames. The artisans create each sheet of the acid-free, age-resistant paper by hand, using ingredients such as cotton, linen, and glue. In addition to its water colour paper, the hand paper mill is famous for its writing paper called Bikupan, which has the original Lessebo logo as a watermark and is known as the symbol of Lessebo municipality. It is said that famous authors and artists such as August Strindberg, Vilhelm Moberg, and Cornelis Vreeswijk created their works on Lessebo handmade writing paper.<\/p>\n<p>We offer guided tours, art exhibitions, a shop selling handmade paper, books by local authors, works by artists from the province of Sm\u00e5land, workshops, concerts, and seminars.<\/p>\n<h5>Opening hours\u00a0<\/h5>\n<p><strong>The Shop has closed for the season\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Opening hours from June 15th<\/p>\n<p>Monday \u2013 Friday: 10:00 AM \u2013 4:00 PM<br \/>Saturday \u2013 Sunday: Closed<\/p>\n<p>For inquiries outside these hours, email <a rel=\"noopener\"><span>info<\/span><span>@lessebohandpappersbruk<\/span><span>.se<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Guided tours<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Opening hours for guided tours from June 15th:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Monday &#8211; Friday: 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 12:30 PM, 01:30 PM and 02:30 PM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For group bookings or tours outside regular hours, contact: <a href=\"mailto:booking@lessebohandpappersbruk.se\">booking@lessebohandpappersbruk.se<\/a><\/p>\n<h5>Not only is Lessebo Hand Paper Mill cultural heritage, but it is also a place to meet in every sense of the word.
