The estate was first mentioned in 1443. It has belonged to the Möllers, von Schwenghelms and also to von Girard de Soucanton's. The stately Early-Classical main building, erected in the estate in the 1770s, lies in ruins. Grand eclectic administrative buildings (mill, distillery, etc.) have been preserved.

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.
