Öjeby Church Village
Öjeby church town is beautiful all year round, but especially in winter when the snow covers the roofs of the red cottages and creates a magical winter atmosphere. The narrow lanes and the beautiful church make the church town a cosy place to wander around.
Every year, a cosy Christmas market is usually held in Öjeby church village. Keep an eye on our events calendar to see which markets are taking place around Piteå this winter!
