The Grill's estate in Söderfors largely made up the entire town at that time along with the ironworks and the manor.
The ironworks were founded in 1676 to make anchors.
Claes Grill (I) bought the ironworks in 1748, and it stayed within the Grill family until 1907.
The factory passed through several owners and is, since 1995, owned and operated by Scana Steel Söderfors AB, a company with production in Norway, Sweden and China.

The first manor was finished in 1700 then between 1749 and 1756 it was rebuilt by architect Carl Hårleman for Claes Grill (I).
After his death, the manor passed to his son Adolf Ulric.
He was an avid naturalist and during his residence he filled it with art and specimens of mounted animals, minerals, fossils and plants.
Adolph Ulric had a separate house built for his collection in 1786.
He also started the construction of an English garden at Söderfors by the river Dalälven.
Gustaf af Sillén completed the park, which is one of the main features in Söderfors.
As of 2014, the manor is a hotel and conference venue.
On 20 December 1985, most of the ironworks and the surrounding area of Söderfors, a total of 91 buildings, became listed buildings, making it one of the largest listed sites in Sweden.
