Umeå - Gammlia Open-air Museum

On a hill northeast of Umeå is the Gammlia open-air museum, with the Västerbotten Museum (folk museum). Among the buildings in the open-air museum is an 18th century house, Sävargården, which was the headquarters of the Russian General Kamensky during the Swedish-Russian war. The Helena Elisabeth Church, originally a fishermen's chapel on the island of Holmö (off Umeå in the Gulf of Bothnia), is in part built of timber from wrecked ships. An example of an old craftsman's house is Lars Fägrares Gård, now a Skiing Museum.
