Our story, a century in the making.

From that spirit, Sörbyparken emerged in the 1940s. The Logen became one of Norrbotten's most cherished places for dancing and celebrations, welcoming generations of locals and visitors from further afield. Music, dancing and live performances filled the venue, from local musicians to some of Sweden's biggest artists of the time.

One of the most talked-about evenings came during Midsummer in 1966, when actor Roger Moore visited Sörbyn. Around 5,000 people gathered in the park to see the internationally renowned actor — a testament to the significance Sörbyparken once held as a place for entertainment and celebration.

But Sörbyparken was about more than dancing. In 1951, the villagers built the football field themselves, contributing around 2,000 hours of voluntary work. By the lakeshore, a bathing area was created with jetties, a diving tower and open grassy spaces.

The music may have fallen silent, but people have never stopped gathering here.

In 2008, Sörbyn Turism & Konferens was established with the ambition of carrying the story of this place forward. Restaurant Kallkällan, the accommodation, conferences and experiences of today continue the same idea that first shaped Sörbyparken: to create a place people want to travel to, come together in and stay a little longer.

We are not reinventing the past. We are building on it — with respect for the people who created this place, the nature that surrounds it and the heritage we have been entrusted to carry forward.

Something new is taking shape on the shores of Lake Vitträsk. But the promise remains the same: a place worth travelling for, where people meet, eat well and stay a little longer.
