Grankullaviken
Grankullaviken (or Grankullavik) is a shallow〔 bay at the northern tip of Öland, Sweden, located in Böda socken, Borgholm Municipality. The bay is almost completely enclosed by two headlands and a few small shoal islands (Stora grundet, Borren, and Lilla grundet). Grankullavik is also the name of a village on the bay. The lighthouse Långe Erik on the Stora grundet island is officially named Ölands norra udde (Öland's northernmost point), even though the western headland extends a bit further north than the island upon which it stands. The eastern headland is the site of the windswept forest and nature reserve Trollskogen.
==History==
In medieval times the bay was also referred to as Örehamn, and was probably important already in prehistoric times. This part of Öland was an important landing point for merchants in northern Kalmar County, and much of the shipping toward Gotland passed through this area as well. The bay and its port were of paramount importance to the economy of Boda. In modern times; Grankullaviken was important for the shipping of timber.
The three small shoal islands (Stora grundet, Borren, and Lilla grundet) have a history of human habitation as well. Stora grundet is the location of the lighthouse, and Lilla grundet is the site of a chapel dedicated to St. Olav and an abandoned cemetery. Records from the Linköping diocese dating from 1515 mention a chapel ''Sancti Olaui in Böda'', but there are no further details; it is likely that stones from the chapel were used in the construction of the lighthouse.〔
