The oldest church in Lappland (1608). The brightly painted altarpiece by Uppsala artist Bror Hjorth, cut out in teak, depicts scenes with revivalist preacher Lars Levi Laestadius. In the centre of the birch organ above the entrance hangs a shaman’s drum, merging the Sami sun symbol with the Christian cross. The organ has three sounds: birdsong, drum, and reindeer hooves.
