Notskriften. At the historic industrial area of Munktell and the Eskilstuna river lies the housing block of Notskriften. Originating from its context, an intricate and innovative residential district has taken shape. The Munktell area is characterized by large scale industrial workshop buildings, hardened streets, and brick façades displaying beautiful workmanship.
