Sweden
🎧 Listen to Introduction
Gammelstad, at the head of the Gulf of Bothnia, is the best-preserved example of a unique type of "church village" that once existed across northern Scandinavia. 424 wooden houses are crammed around an early 15th-century stone church, which was used only on Sundays and religious festivals to accommodate worshippers from the surrounding countryside who were unable to return home during the day due to the long distances and transportation.
