Prestebakke

Prestebakke combines the calm of a farming settlement with the long-standing connections of a border community, reflecting its position in southeastern Norway beside Sweden. The village lies in Enningdalen, where the Enningdalselva runs through woodland and cultivated land; the valley continues across the frontier, linking Norwegian and Swedish border country. Prestebakke Church, dating from 1795, is a local landmark, and the area saw fighting in 1808 during the conflict between Denmark–Norway and Sweden. Part of Halden municipality, Prestebakke belongs to Østfold’s inland borderlands rather than the nearby Skagerrak coast.
