Geschiedenis - Sundsvall

Geschiedenis

Sundsvall was founded in the 17th century, initially as a trading post due to its strategic location by the coast. The city quickly grew into a hub for timber and industry, which shaped its development and architecture.

In the late 19th century, Sundsvall experienced a significant fire that destroyed much of the wooden town. This led to a rebuilding effort that introduced beautiful stone buildings, giving the city its distinctive character today.
