Frösö Church

Frösö Church, one of Jämtland's major tourist attractions, holds a rich history dating back to the 12th century. Archaeological findings suggest the church was built on a former pagan sacrificial site. Despite a destructive fire in 1898, the church's interiors were salvaged, and it remains a testament to the region's heritage. Renowned for its association with composer Wilhelm Peterson-Berger's compositions, the church's picturesque surroundings contribute to its popularity as one of Sweden's preferred wedding venues.
