Berg

Berg lies in southern Jämtland, near the waters of Storsjön and the mountain country beyond. Its parish had a medieval church, replaced at the end of the eighteenth century. Jämtland lay under the Norwegian crown for centuries before passing to Sweden in the Treaty of Brömsebro in 1645. Farms, church communities and the mountain lands of Sámi reindeer herders met in this border province between the Scandinavian kingdoms.
