    The so-called church town of Arvidsjaur is unique.

    The typical gähtie huts with their square wooden construction and pyramid-shaped roof have been preserved here. The church town played an important role in northern Sweden: the buildings grouped around the church served as a place for the visiting Sami to stay and meet for the most important holidays - baptisms, weddings and funerals.

    This is where they met with relatives and friends. The Sami town is now a listed building; however, it is not an open-air museum, but is still in use. The tradition is still alive here!
