Törngren’s pottery workshop was founded in 1789 and was run by seven generations of the Törngren family. The workshop truly represents a unique cultural heritage, and Falkenberg has had a strong tradition of pottery-making. During its heyday in the mid-1800s, 13 workshops were operating simultaneously. Only Törngren’s survived into modern times, with production ceasing in 2014. Falkenberg’s rise as a regional center for pottery in the 18th and 19th centuries was largely due to the abundant supply of earthenware clay along the banks of the Ätran River.
The premises still exist in the old town but, unfortunately, are not open to visitors. However, feel free to walk by, as some items are displayed in the windows.
