In 1995, Swedish artist Bengt Lindström constructed the Y, a 30 meter high sculpture located in Timrå. Local legend says that Sörberge, on the north side of the town, is haunted by a tall man wearing a very large coat called 'Stor Bubbas'. Climate Timrå has historically had a subarctic climate, but it has in recent decades more resembled a cool-summer humid continental climate.
