Let’s explore the #ISLAND of FRÖSÖN a bit more. Today I show you the location from the once #MEDIEVAL #CHURCH from the end of the 12th century and its current BELL TOWER from 1754 that still exists. ~ in FRÖSÖN, Jämtland County, SWEDEN. 🇸🇪
This CHURCH is located on the island Frösön what is opposite from the city of ÖSTERSUND in the large lake Storsjön. A bit inland from the observation tower I showed you yesterday. If you missed my post, have a look here: ☃️ We found an observation tower in Frösön.☃️

The Photographs in this post are taken with my #CANON R5 📸
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my #adventures on this #walk to 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes.
Location of the #church on Frösön, SWEDEN 🇸🇪 we find on the following screenshot of Google Maps were we see it is on a large island and the city of #Ostersund is just right of it:
Yes, there is even a little airport on this island if you look closely ☝🏻
I found a large document in Swedish about this medieval location. The church and the bell tower.
If you want to see it have a look here: Frösön church and bell tower! even if you just look at their photos in this document, it is pretty cool 😎 you find lots of details from the stunning woodworks in them.
More information in English you find here: Froso church and bell tower! it mentions;
the church is the oldest remaining church from the County Jämtland.
❄️
“Visit Östersund” has also a bit more information for you in English: have a look here for it! it is the most interesting page to read as it tells you about the fertility god Frö and more myths and legends. (Information they do know)
So let us look at this STUNNING location and UNIQUE BELL TOWER now 😊
As you can see, YOU JUST CAN’T MISS IT.
This is the BELL TOWER from 1754. It is #constructed out of wood with so many fine #details.
The stunning views over the island and across the lake in the distance. This morning was a dark and grey day. Still… beautiful in many ways.
The newer church next to the bell tower is in use and well maintained. The ancient graves all covered under a lot of #SNOW. ❄️
We see this information sign on the ancient wall in #Swedish 🇸🇪
Let me show you some of the details 🥰
The top of the bell tower. Look at how the wood overlaps each shingle.
The columns and balustrades are awesome 🤩
The entrance… the steps are fully covered with snow. I am not getting closer by to disturb the virgin snow on them. It, my photos, looks so much better without footprints going up to close to the buildings 😉 don’t you think?
I really like the colour of the wood. It is very rich. The soft almost white sky… a bit of very light blue on the horizon 😊 makes this #architectural #masterwork stand out so much.
It must be very cool to visit the church and bell tower when they are open, to look inside of them.
Like yesterday when I showed you the observation tower on this island… it was out of season and most landmarks are closed for the winter. ❄️
So if you find yourself in the area of Östersund one day. Do check out this island in the lake. It is large and has some interesting landmarks you SHOULD NOT MISS!
Let’s walk a bit further away. To have a look from further away at the bell tower. It looks surreal in the #landscape. From long forgotten times…
A bit further away I show you that both the church and the bell tower are close together on the church grounds. The #graves surrounding the right building and the back of the tower.
I truly enjoyed wandering around this area with you. Such a beautiful place to discover. Especially with all the snow around us.
…and here I say that’s all for today’s post my friends.
