   Frösö Runestone

   The Frösö Runestone stands as the northernmost raised runestone in the world, erected around 1030-1050 AD on Frösön island in Jämtland, Sweden. This singular monument commemorates Austmaðr, son of Guðfastr, who raised the stone, built a bridge, and Christianized the entire region of Jamtaland. Carved by Trjónn and Steinn, its runes in ancient Jamtish mark the first written record of Jämtland's name and dialect. Featuring a serpentine dragon biting its tail—linked in legend to the Storsjöodjuret lake monster—the stone evokes Viking-era transitions and local independence. Now positioned before the historic Landstingsborgen on an unnamed road in Frösön, it offers a tangible portal to Scandinavia's runic heritage amid serene lakeside landscapes.
