Offerdal

Offerdal lies northwest of Storsjön in Jämtland, its name derived from an old expression for the valley of a river through marshland. At Gärde, ancient rock carvings depict moose and testify to people who lived here thousands of years ago. The church at Ede was built in the twelfth century after Christianity reached the district. Offerdal formed part of Norwegian Jämtland until the Treaty of Brömsebro transferred the province to Sweden in 1645.
