Discover Boliden: Culture, Water and Local History

Boliden invites you to include culture, local history, water and nature in your travel plans. Particularly notable are Bolidens kyrka with its black bell tower, the Färglådan and Stora radhuset buildings, and Sidtjärns badplats. Boliden is an easy place to explore on a city walk; at the same time, Sidtjärn offers concrete opportunities for spending time by the water. If you are looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can decide on your preferred focus when choosing your destination: cultural discoveries, time by the water or cross-country skiing.

Culture and Local History on a City Walk

Bolidens kyrka was inaugurated on the first Sunday of Advent in 1960 and combines medieval and contemporary forms. The freestanding black bell tower is reminiscent of an old mine hoist frame. This gives the church a feature that brings architecture and the history of the area into conversation with each other. For planning your visit, it is also helpful to know that Bolidens kyrka has an accessible entrance with an automatic door opener.

Further points of interest for a city walk include Färglådan and Stora radhuset. Färglådan was designed in 1930 by John Åkerlund as an apartment building for employees and their families. Stora radhuset was the first residential building in Boliden's new town plan. Bolidens Folkets Hus has been a meeting place since 1930. Those travelling with their family can use these different buildings to get to know the area not only as a stopover, but also through its architectural and local history.
