"The church town of Gammelstad was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO on December 7, 1996. It is a well-preserved example of traditional northern Scandinavian church towns. There were once 71 of these. Gammelstad's church town, with 408 houses, is the largest of Sweden's 16 church towns still in existence .
The region was an important hub for trade and markets as early as the 14th century. The Nederluleå Church was the center for a parish that stretched from the coast to Norway.

Everything here is so alive - insights through windows, in an apartment you can even go in, then the view on and in the imposing stone church from the 13th century. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is definitely worth seeing.

Gamelstad is a historic place that is well preserved and even partially inhabited. I had some bad luck with the weather (continuous rain), so that I only drove slowly with the bike, but that was very impressive! The many small houses and the small streets, really nice! And certainly much nicer if the sun had shone;)
