The former Wargöns AB paper mill is located on the Göta Älv river in the southwest of Sweden near the municipality of Vargön. After its closure in 2008, a large part of the building complex was demolished, but the entrance portal with the wolf in the firm emblem still shows witness to the former company. Therefore, the place is also called “Wolf Island”. Today, the site is a mysterious and almost magical lost place, covered from top to bottom with countless pieces of graffiti and streetart. Most parts of the factory, built in 1869, lie in ruins, but there is still the entrance building and also several rooms at the jetties on the river. Those lead underground into the mountain and finding the works there is kind of an additional adventure. The whole place is simply breathtaking and well worth a visit. In the following archive, the artists’ works are sorted by name. If you also have photos of Wargöns Bruk, you can send them to us at info@vagabundler.com and we will add them to this page.
