Norrbotten, Northern province in Norrbotten County, Sweden
Norrbotten spans across 26,671 square kilometers of Swedish territory, featuring mountains, deep lakes, and coastal areas along the Gulf of Bothnia.
Swedish rulers established control over Norrbotten through the construction of Nederluleå stone church in 1492, marking a period of increased settlement.
The region maintains strong ties to Sami, Finnish, and Tornedalian communities, with multiple languages receiving official recognition in various municipalities.
The county capital Luleå connects to other major Swedish cities through railways and airports, serving as a transportation hub for the region.
Norrbotten contains 8,000 ancient sites and the Gammelstad Church Village, which includes 404 church cabins used by distant worshippers.
