The premises at Annastigen 33 serve as a rehearsal space for local choirs, including children's choirs, and also function as a meeting point for other community activities, such as day gatherings with guest speakers.
Erikslid itself was developed between 1991 and 1996 as a district of Norrböle, north of Skellefteå town centre, comprising 365 rented flats. The area is arranged around two housing blocks: Morellstigen, built in red brick and completed in 1994, and Annastigen, in yellow with classicising and postmodern features, linked by a footbridge designed by the artist Leif Bolter.
Notably, the original plans for the Annastigen block envisaged that it would culminate in a church built in the same postmodern style as the surrounding development, but these plans were abandoned. More broadly, Erikslid was originally intended to be a much larger development of around 1,700 homes along with a new church, but the building work was halted by Sweden's economic crisis of the 1990s. Construction did not resume until 2012, and then only on a smaller scale, under the name Västra Eriksberg.
As a result, Erikslid remains an example of a planned district centre without the church, or indeed the full neighbourhood, that had once been envisaged for it.
