"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.

Gammelstads kirkeby består af 408 små huse og er det største og bedst bevarede eksempel på denne type bebyggelse, der er typisk for Nord-Skandinavien. Det første skriftlige bevis for en kirkeby stammer fra år 1600. Husene blev tidligere - ligesom i dag - primært brugt som boliger for kirkegængere, der kom langvejsfra. I dag bor mange konfirmander også i husene, når de deltager i konfirmationsundervisningen.

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.
