Kulturstigen          18 & 19

During the 1820s, N. O. Burman sold parts of his first settlements on the North Side to Gustav Fredrik Flinkfelt and his wife Anna-Brita. Currently, the new owners of the spit are Bjelfman / Löfmarksdelen.

 

Their first small timbered dwelling house, now the village's oldest preserved house, was finlly moved from the hill down to the lake. There it had the function of a bakery and sleeping cabin.

 

When G. F. Flinkfelt died, the widow handed over the new building to her sister Margareta and her husband Johan Andersson-Löfmark from Skellefteå in 1830.
