#holidayitinerary The Eglise de Jukkasjärvi in Norrbotten is a charming and historic wooden church that carries a quiet beauty. Built in the early 1600s, it is one of the oldest churches in Swedish Lapland and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. From the outside, its simple design blends perfectly with the surrounding landscape, while the interior surprises with colorful artwork and a sense of peace. One of the highlights is the altar painting by Bror Hjorth, which brings vibrant life to the small chapel. The church also has strong ties to Sami culture, making it a meaningful place to reflect on the region’s history and traditions. It is not a large building, but it has plenty of character and a special charm that stays with you. Visiting the Eglise de Jukkasjärvi feels like stepping into both history and culture.
