Brämön

Italy

Brämön (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈbrêːmœn]) is an island in Sundsvall Municipality, Västernorrland County, Sweden. Brämön is about 5 km long and 3 km wide, with an area of about 11 km2. It is situated in the Bothnian Sea, separated from the mainland by the approximately 2 km wide Brämösundet. A small

island named Kalven just lies just off Brämön in the south. Brämön had already been known for fishing in the 15th century. The last fisherman left the island in 1949. There are two inhabited places in Brämön, namely Sanna and Norrhamn. The two places are connected by a footpath. A nature reserve was established in 2004, which includes the island except Sanna and Norrhamn. Brämön was spelled as Bremön. The old spelling is still used by many.
