It is dedicated to Bridget of Sweden.[4] During the Finnish War in 1808, the Swedish king Gustav IV Adolf had his headquarters in the Lemland parsonage.[5] As per Håkan Skogsjö, the ancestry of the permanently residing population of Lemland and owners of farmsteads could be traced back to the 18th century.[6][7]
