Skelleftea kommun

Skellefteå Municipality occupies a Baltic coastal belt in northeastern Sweden. It extends from the Gulf of Bothnia inland across a low, wooded terrain shaped by the Skellefte River, which reaches the sea at the city of Skellefteå. Part of Västerbotten County, the municipality experiences long winters and bright summer nights that set the pace of local life. Forestry and mining have played a defining role here, and the Boliden mining area is one of northern Sweden’s best-known industrial districts. Near Skellefteå’s old parish church, Bonnstan preserves the Swedish church-town tradition through historic cottages once used by worshippers arriving from distant settlements.
