Haverö

Haverö lies in the wooded interior of northern Sweden, around Lake Havern. A medieval church stood on a peninsula on the lake's northern shore, serving a parish whose history reaches back many centuries. Around the turn of the seventeenth century, Forest Finns began to settle in the district, particularly near Byberget and Snöberg. The forests, lakes and waterways of the parish formed part of a border country between the Swedish and Norwegian realms.
