- Borgåsgubben is a 10-foot-tall male figure statue made of different sizes of stone-bricks put together. He stands on top of a mountain called Borgåsen, in Källtegen, Blomskog, Årjäng, Sweden. Why he was put there is unknown, but rumor has it that he was put there to frighten off enemies. It was supposed to give those attacking a vision of a living guard post. It was built in times of war between Sweden and Norway around 1600-1700. Many believe that the stone statue was made by soldiers called caroleans, soldiers that served in the army under the Swedish King Charles XII's rule. Charles and his soldiers were passing by and were on their way to Fredriksten fortress in Norway when they stopped in Blomskog. To celebrate the millennium, the people of Blomskog made a new memorial and gave Borgåsgubben a 3.5-foot-tall wife; she is located on another hill, called "Källte kuel" a mile away. She is called Stenfrun - The Stonelady. Later on some unknown tourist gave them a son; there is no name and no date of when he was built. You can find him next to the Stonelady. (en)
