Källornas

Källornas is a rural locality and parish in central Sweden. The name derives from källor, meaning springs or sources, and refers to a cluster of natural water sources that once powered mills in the vicinity.

The settlement is characterized by a landscape of mixed forests, rolling hills and a small stream that runs through the village.

The earliest records mention Källornas in the 15th century, with growth tied to agriculture and wood processing. By the 18th and 19th centuries, water-driven mills and workshops formed the economic backbone, although the community remained small. In the 20th century, transportation improvements and urban migration led to population stabilization at a few hundred residents.

Today, Källornas maintains a light economy based on farming, forestry, and local services, with tourism rooted in nature and heritage trails. The parish operates a single church and a community center that hosts cultural events.

Notable sites include Källornas Church, built in the late 19th century, the old mill ruins by the stream, and a protected area nearby known as Källornas Nature Reserve, which preserves the surrounding conifer forests and traditional hedgerows. The community emphasizes preservation of its rural character while supporting small-scale entrepreneurship and outdoor recreation.
