Årjäng is a locality and the seat of Årjäng Municipality, Värmland County, Sweden with 3,228 inhabitants in 2010.[1] It is located around 30 kilometres (19 mi) from the Norway-Sweden border and on the road between Karlstad and Oslo. In 1540 Årjäng was spelled Argenge. This word has an Old Swedish genitive case of å, meaning river, which refers to the Silbodal river. The morpheme genge refers to a crossing over the river.

History

Antiquity

Ancient findings show that Årjäng Municipality has been inhabited for a very long time. Ceramics, burnt animal bones and flint objects have been found nearby, dating back to 3500-3000 B.C.[2]

Medieval

In the 11th century the domains regarding what is now part of Årjäng Municipality was called Nordmarken. The belief of natural beings like giants, trolls, scrubbers and elves was rooted in the inhabitants of this time period. Around the 12th century Christianity slowly took hold among the people, and churches were soon built.[2]

Climate

The border region surrounding Årjäng has a borderline oceanic/continental climate in recent decades, although in previous decades such as the 1961-1990 it was even cold enough to be classified as mild subarctic. The nearest weather station is in Blomskog, located within the woods at a similar altitude somewhat farther south.

Tourist attractions

Årjängstrollet located downtown was created by artist Erik Hermansson, the creation of the troll was inspired by Thore Skogman's fairytale about trolls in Årjäng.[3]

A "sculpture walk" can be experienced from Årjäng central to Kyrkerud art school; a walk for experience and recreation.[4]

Horse trot racing is an established sport in Årjäng, it is the highlight every year to hold the race "V75" at Årjängstravet.[5]

Båstnäs Car Cemetery has become a cultural meeting point for artists and photographers; a monument to an earlier era of automotive history.[6]
