Swedish term or phrase: gårmakeri
Hello

Nederländaren Marcus Koch öppnade ett så kallade ***gårmakeri** för råkoppar i Avesta år 1641 vilket ledde till både myntverk och mänssingsbruk i trakten.

I've discovered that that gårmakeri = garmakeri but can't find a translation and I'm not helped further by other segments.

Does anyone know what this is? Trading post?
