Læstadiuspörtet, Historical residence and museum in Pajala, Sweden

The Læstadiuspörtet consists of a red timber building with multiple sections including a hallway, kitchen, milk room, and workspace called stuga.

Lars Levi Læstadius, a Lutheran minister and botanist, lived in this building from 1854 until his death in 1861, after relocating from Kengis.

The museum displays original items from the period when Lars Levi and Brita-Kajsa Læstadius resided here, including religious texts and botanical collections.

The museum offers guided tours throughout the year for groups and individuals, with special access to Britta-Kajsa's garden section during summer months.

The building houses a collection of Lars Levi's botanical illustrations featuring over 6,000 plant species from northern latitudes, documenting regional flora.
