Overview

About Bromolla from Wikipedia:

"Bromölla Municipality (Bromölla kommun) is a municipality in Skåne County in southern Sweden. Its seat is located in the town Bromölla. The name Bromölla translates to "Bridge Mill", one or more mills used at least from the 17th to the 19th century, adjacent to a small river. The municipal arms depict a bridge over a river, and a water wheel symbolizing the mill."
