Bonnstan, Church town in Skellefteå, Sweden.

Bonnstan is a church town of 116 wooden church cottages standing just east of Skellefteå parish church. The cottages line two streets with cross streets, and each farmer in the parish had his own house there for holidays, as Carl von Linné noted in 1732 when he counted 350 to 400 houses with white chimneys.

The first church town in Skellefteå is undocumented but probably existed in the early 1600s. It burned in 1672 and was completely destroyed in 1835, then rebuilt almost on the same site along the road, slightly farther from the parish church. A 1937 fire destroyed about ten houses northwest of the square, after which houses north of the thoroughfare were moved to restore the overall layout. Two houses with 16 chambers burned on 27 October 2012.

Bonnstan's name comes from the Swedish word for farmers, 'bonde', because each farmer in the parish owned a cottage here for use on holidays and church days. Carl von Linné noted in 1732 that every farmer had his own house where he stayed on high feast days. The area also included church stables to the north, most of which have burned down or been demolished.

Bonnstan lies just east of Skellefteå landsförsamling church, within the national interest area Skellefteå sockencentrum, which also takes in the church and Lejonströmsbron. The 116 church cottages stand along two main streets with cross streets, so the whole ensemble can be walked on foot. The site is a listed building complex from 1982, and the buildings are private church cottages, so visitors view them from the lanes rather than entering.

Carl von Linné visited in 1732 and described "an incredible number of houses, like a fine city, with white chimneys", built along two streets with cross streets, counting 350 to 400 houses; each farmer in the parish had his own house for the holidays. The present 116 church cottages are what remains of that far larger church town.
