Ovansjö church (Ovansjö kyrka)

The church was given its present looks in the beginning of 1760, but some parts still remain from the original church built already during the 13th century. A unique rune stone with carved runes can be viewed in the porch of the church. It is believed that the stone was erected in Kungsgården at the end of the 11th century. A memorial stone can be found in the park to the west of the church. The Vasa memorial stone was erected in memory of a meeting between king Gustaf Vasa and the inhabitants of Ovansjö in 1521.
