Öjebyn

[citation needed] In 1620, Olof Bure made the city plan for Piteå at Öjebyn.

[citation needed] Piteå was granted the rights of a city in 1621, and the main town moved to Öjebyn.

[citation needed] Öjebyn has the world's only Paltzeria, which serves different varieties of pitepalt, the culinary specialty of the village.

[citation needed] The Solander Park is located in Öjebyn and was opened on 1 July 2000 by the governor Kari Marklund.

The monument consists of a wave-shaped stone block (taken from the local bedrock) with a globe and symbolizing Solander's voyages on the world's ocean.

The monument was designed by artist Sture Berglund in collaboration with the stone sculptor Sven-Erik Bryggman.
