Ånge Municipality

Ånge Municipality is an administrative division in Västernorrland County in northern Sweden, covering several settlements and rural areas. The territory spans through sparsely populated landscapes with forests, lakes, and dispersed communities.

This administrative unit was created in 1971 through the merger of several former districts and the market town of Ånge. The consolidation brought together long-established settlements that had previously operated as separate entities.

The Borgsjö Church within the area displays Swedish architectural design from the 18th century with rococo details and ornate interiors. This style reflects the building traditions and religious importance of the region.

The area is crossed by a major railway line that connects various places and facilitates movement between them. The best time to explore is during warmer months when roads are most accessible.

A point near Lake Munkbysjön was designated as the geographical center of Sweden following calculations. This spot became notable following academic research and remains a point of interest for those curious about Swedish geography.
