Ervita Manor
The Ervita manor was first mentioned in 1663 and the main building has probably been built based on the earlier edifices in the beginning of the 19th century. The manor was long inhabited by the noble family of von Wredes. Later it was used as a school. Today, the building is in private hands and is being renovated.

Frösö Runestone
Frösöstenen is the northern-most raised runestone in the world and Jämtland's only runestone. It originally stood at the tip of ferry terminal on the sound between the island of Frösön and Östersund. The stone dates to between 1030 and 1050. It has now been relocated to the lawn in front of the local county seat due to the construction of a new bridge, between 1969 and 1971, on the original site.
Frösö runestone inscription means: Austmaðr, Guðfastr's son, had this stone raised and this bridge built and Christianized Jämtland. Ásbjörn built the bridge. Trjónn and Steinn carved these runes.
