Säffle marinmotormuseum

About the museum

Säffle marinmotormuseum (marine engine museum) shows around 200–220 old boat engines of various ages and designs, both outboard and inboard engines. About 20 of them are hot-bulb engines (tändkulemotorer). The engines recall Säffle's time as a production town for marine engines, where, among others, the well-known Seffle engine was built.

The museum lies in Säffle's old waterworks, which operated between 1940 and 1982, at the southern end of Lake Harefjorden about three kilometres north of Säffle. Shipping on the Byälven and Vänern is also part of the exhibition, through photographs and maritime curiosities, including material about Billerud's fleet.

The museum can be reached both by car and by boat: there is a jetty for those arriving by water on the Vikingaleden (Viking Route) between Vänern and Arvika, and the Säffle Canal lies right next to it. The museum's website has been online since 1996.
