Historical settlement of copper mine workers. Text of the information board:
The district of Elsborg came about as a result of the city of Falun's development plan of 1646. The intention was to create a settlement for the many miners from the nearby pit. The houses were built on a slag heap and the rectangular quarters would be strictly regulated with allotted plots and uniform cottages, often with only a living room and kitchen or just a kitchen/dining room. The pit houses were close together, with the gables facing the street.

Falun is one of Sweden's "wooden cities". The old Elsborg district consists of old, historic houses.
