A place to linger

The town hall, designed by the architect Frans Bertil, was completed in 1912. In 1986, Östersund celebrated its 200th anniversary and to mark the anniversary, a carillon was introduced in the tower, which plays three times a day.

Construction probably began in the late 12th century. A 13th-century shrine is located in the niche in the chancel. On the north side of the chancel is the communion cabinet, where the consecrated communion bread is kept; a red prayer lamp marks the presence of Christ. Two medieval saints, the Virgin Mary to the north and the patron saint of Olof the Saint to the south, indicate the church's importance as a pilgrimage church. A fire in 1898 destroyed the 17th-century decorative wall paintings. The church was rebuilt after the fire, but it was not until 1930 that the interior of the church acquired the appearance it has today.

If you want, you can also build beautiful buildings in Sweden.

Next to it there is a room for pilgrims with water and toilet.

Östersund is the center of the province of Jämtland County and is always worth a trip. There are a variety of options here for purchasing typical regional products and practical outdoor equipment. Many restaurants and cafés invite you to linger. Östersund is the perfect starting point for hikes in the region.

Stortorget is the central square of Östersund. It was created as a result of plans for new residential areas that were supposed to expand in all directions. For a long time, Stortorget served as a city market square. Today the traditional Gregorius market and the Storsjöyran town festival take place here every year.
