Radical Christian Sect, Wealth And Self-Expression | Ovanåker Municipality| Spectacular Sweden

Ovanåker is a small and cosy municipality with two farm houses which are listed as Unesco Heritage sites. Historically, this was a wealthy region. Agricultural success transformed farmers' lifestyle. With increased literacy and influx of enlightenment ideas, free thinkers formed a new Christian sect which challenged the Lutheran congregations' role as the spiritual leader. Their voyage to the US set the precedent of religious emigration.
