Interesting facts about this location
Sollefteå church
The Sollefteå church was built, using granite, in the 13th century but was heavily re-modelled in the late 18th century when it was transformed into a rococo building with a high hip roof. The church was extended to the south and west and a vestry was added in the east. The chapel was also given the same width as the rest of the building. The work was directed by city builder Daniel Hagman from Sundsvall. The pulpit and the retable was crafted in 1773 and 1787 respectively by Johan Edler.
