The classicist-style tavern building belonging to the Tori manor house was built by Detlof v. At the initiative of Baranfoff in 1845. A distinctive feature of the building is that the tavern room extends throughout the building. The mantle chimney-kitchen has been partially preserved. In terms of exterior architecture, the Tori Tavern, with its ten massive columns on the front, is one of the most impressive in Estonia. The year 1845, which marks the time of construction, is on the doorstep of the tavern. The year 1925, marked on the second date stone, marks the internal rebuilding of the building for the horse post.

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.
