Furby, Sweden

Furby (from fura 'pine' + by 'village') was a parish in an area currently located in Badelunda parish, Västerås Municipality, Sweden. The parish consisted of four larger villages or homesteads - Ingeberga, Berga, Tuna and Närlunda.[1] Furby parish was merged with Badelunda parish in the 16th century.[1] Now only a church ruin remains. Furby is a few miles north of Lake Mälaren and near Anundshögen, the ship burial mound of legendary Swedish king Anund.
