Gammelstad, literally "old town", is the old parish village. It is a part of the Swedish national heritage, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list and was originally the site of Luleå. At its centre is an early 15th-century stone church surrounded by 408 cottages. The town was built to house church visitors from the surrounding countryside, who lived too far away to get back home before nightfall. Due to the land rising (recovery from the last Ice Age) its harbour got unusable and a new city was established closer to where the sea is now. The church was built in 1492, the year when Columbus arrived in America.
The Luleå archipelago is worth a trip and is available through tour boats during the summer. Klubbviken at the island Sandön is a pleasant stop with a nice beach.
