Nybyggarna is a stone sculpture erected by the road bridge in Lycksele. It serves as a monument to the people who came to the Lycksele area.
The sculpture is made of stone and depicts a dog, a man, and a woman. It was created based on the original wooden sculpture of the same name by Bengt Fransson.
By standing prominently near the bridge, the figures serve as a lasting tribute to those who built the local community.
