Pilgrimstad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pilgrimstad is a small village in the Municipality of Bräcke in Jämtland, in north-western Sweden.

Today, the village has approximately 400 inhabitants and is mostly known for the small micro-brewery, Jämtlands Bryggeri that is located in the village.

Historically, Pilgrimstad has an old history. The village is named after a water well were pilgrims stopped on their pilgrimage travels to Trondheim, Norway. Yet to this day, the inhabitants of the village get their water from this well. A small historical note is that the former king, Charles XI of Sweden stopped in Pilgrimstad on his way to Norway, and exclaimed; “This must be the smallest town in my kingdom!”
