After a fire destroyed the wooden town in 1888, Sundsvall was rebuilt entirely in stone - earning it the name Stenstan (Stone City). The uniform late nineteenth-century stone architecture of the central grid gives the city a distinctive character among Swedish towns. About 57,600 people live here in Vasternorrland County on the Gulf of Bothnia coast.
The timber industry built Sundsvall's wealth in the nineteenth century, when sawmills along the coast processed logs floated down from the Norrland forests. The Norrland coast between Sundsvall and Ornskoldsvik was once the most concentrated sawmill district in the world. Today the economy has diversified into finance, IT, and public services, though SCA (Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget) maintains a significant presence.
The Norra and Sodra Stadsberget hills flank the city, with walking trails and viewpoints accessible from the centre. The Kulturmagasinet museum occupies restored warehouses near the harbour. Mid Sweden University has a campus in the city, adding a student population to the commercial base.
Sundsvall-Timra Airport handles flights to Stockholm. The E4 highway and the main northern rail line both pass through. Accommodation is concentrated in the stone city centre and near the commercial areas along the highway. Operating as a curated directory, Escortservice.com applies strict editorial standards.
