Ulvön chapel

The Ulvön chapel is decorated with interesting frescoes. The chapel was built in 1622 by fishermen coming from Gävle. The small local museum is worth a visit as well as the pilot station on the top of the island. All walls and ceiling have been painted by Roland Johansson Öberg in 1719.
