We slept in Gammelstad Church Town near Lulea in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Gammelstad Church Town is a couple of cottages made of wood around the church. The earliest evidence of the existence dates back to 1600 but the exact age is not known.
In the past the cottages were only used on Sundays and during religious festivals. The inhabitants comes from the countryside around the church and could not return home the same day because of the distance and difficult traveling conditions.
How is the Church Town used today?
The cottages are privately owned, just as they used to be, and the owners come here during church holidays, family celebrations and other events.
