Memorial to the death of King Karl August in May 1810, adopted by the childless King Karl XIII. Since Sweden was then without a ruler, there was a new Swedish royal family with the French Marshal Bernadotte.

On May 28, 1810, while inspecting troops, he suffered a stroke and fell from his horse, an event that led to a major political crisis and riots in Stockholm. The monument, a large granite stone with an inscription, marks the exact spot where he fell. It stands as a significant historical landmark in the region.
