Jacobs Kyrka

The Bothnian Coast


Just southwest of the centre, the unusually ornate Jakobs Kyrka dates from 1672. The exterior is still pockmarked from the 18th-century Russian cannonball onslaught, though if you think that the citizens of Glada Hudik haven’t had a good clean out since then, the cannonball by the steps to the pulpit is, in fact, a replica.
