Arctura, the large water reservoir near the ski stadium, was built in 2003 by the energy company Jämtkraft to serve as a water buffer for the new combined heat and power plant in Lugnvik. The tank is 65 meters high, 27 meters in diameter and holds 26 million liters of water. It is covered on the outside with a hanging net that 7,600 small lights illuminate differently at different times of the day. On the top floor, 55 meters high, there is a restaurant with wonderful views. However, it is only open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day. The name of the reservoir tower refers to Jämtland's landscape star Arcturus, but locals simply call the reservoir "the thermos flask."

Since October 2013, the Östersund ski stadium, which had been expanded to international standards twenty years earlier, has been declared Sweden's national biathlon arena. The facility hosts biathlon world cup competitions every year, usually in conjunction with the season opener at the end of November. The 1970, 2008 and 2019 biathlon world championships were held here. The arena is also a popular venue for sled dog races, such as the WSA Sprint World Championships in February 2025. The ski area has 89 kilometers of groomed slopes, 29 kilometers of which are illuminated. Since 2007, there has been a snow guarantee from November 1st. This is made possible by the municipality storing large amounts of snow covered with sawdust in the summer.

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.

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

Östersund Town Hall was built between 1909 and 1912 according to the designs of the architect Frans Bertil Wallberg. It combines modern Northern European brick architecture and Jämtland building tradition in an excellent way. The town hall is clad in dark Helsingborg tiles, with decorations by the sculptor Olof Ahlberg. At 51 meters, the structure is the eleventh tallest tower building in Sweden.

Näskotts Church was originally a medieval wooden church built no later than the 15th century. It burned down during the courtship feud of 1611-1613. A few years after the fire (1613-14) a new wooden church was built, which was subsequently extended several times. The new church from the 19th century is now a folk church. Numerous items survive from medieval and 17th-century churches, including a sculpture of David playing the harp. The present church was built in stone in 1876-78 by master builder Olof Hillgren to drawings by Ernst Abraham Jacobsson, from which many variations were made. The church consists of a nave with an inwardly rounded chancel to the east, a sacristy to the north-east and a tower to the west with an armory on the ground floor and waiting rooms in a smaller annex to the north. During a renovation in 1952-54 according to plans by the architect Gösta Rollin, Östersund, the choir part, which was originally just at the end, was changed and today's inner apse with adjoining rooms was added. In 1973 the extension north of the tower was built.
