Gävleborg County

Among Sweden’s counties, Gävleborg County stands out for the UNESCO-listed decorated farmhouses of Hälsingland, an exceptional expression of rural timber-building tradition. The county extends from the Baltic shore of the Gulf of Bothnia through Gästrikland and Hälsingland, where dense forests, lakes and river valleys shape the interior. The Ljusnan runs through Hälsingland toward the coast, linking communities long associated with forestry and farming. Gävle, the county seat, is a historic port city, while the seven listed Hälsingland farms preserve the prosperity and craftsmanship of 19th-century farming families.
