About
Quick facts: The streets of the old town are lined with examples of German and Swedish architecture that have survived for over 200 years. Teatro Square comes alive three times a year with a travel festival featuring souvenirs and crafts.
Highlights: In the old part stands a 5-meter-high statue workshop symbolizing the mastery of local craftsmen and their traditional manufacturing techniques. This cultural piece reminds visitors that the legend of the fisherman and his work is still alive, which they can see during regular performances.
