In Öjebyn, 6km north of Piteå , there is an interesting early 15th-century church with a clock tower thought to be the oldest building in Norrbotten. Around the church are cottages where parishioners from afar would stay overnight when visiting the church or the market. The town of Piteå originally sprouted up here, around the church, but was later moved closer to the sea. The church village has a museum and an attached cafe.
