Kan inte ge den sämre betyg eftersom jag gifte mig där, kyrkan andas historia helt igenom med både Dansk och Svensk stavning på gravstenarna i golvet.

Sveriges äldsta tegelbyggnad från tidig medeltid. Mycket vacker och charmig, perfekt för bröllop, dop och begravning! Mycket charmig kyrka med en fascinerande historia. Tidigt 1900-tal så byggdes en ny kyrka närmare kusten. Alltför nära, saltvattnet tog ut sin rätt, och den nya kyrkan revs nyligen. Så församlingen flyttade tillbaks till den gamla medeltidskyrkan, som åter hade en passande storlek!

Historic Site of the week

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.
