History
The building was built in 1940 on the site where, among other things, The Carnegie mills (making sugar and porter) existed at this time. The house was then a heating center "Pannhuset". Here, fires were made with coal and wood chips that were stored in large containers on the roof, which are still in the exhibition space on the second floor.

During the 80s, the building was completely abandoned and here young people gathered to have parties and started painting graffiti on the walls. On the back there is still a lot of graffiti. In the 90s, Kulturprojektet Röda Sten was formed to preserve the house and use it for some form of cultural activity. It succeeded - in 2000 the house was completely renovated to its present condition..

Summer at Red Stone
During the summer, Röda Sten usually has creative activities and children of different ages can, together with their art educators, experiment with different materials.
