Rumskulla oak, Ancient tree in Vimmerby Municipality, Sweden.

The Rumskulla oak stands at a height of 14 meters with a trunk measuring 13 meters in circumference near Norra Kvill National Park.

First documented in 1772 by Magnus Gabriel Craelius, this oak tree has endured over a millennium of Swedish history and environmental changes.

Local traditions suggest the oak sprouted from an acorn during the time of Christ's birth, leading to its regional name 'Oak of Christ'.

A fence restricts access within 5 meters of the tree, and designated paths from the parking area guide visitors to observation points.

The trunk contains a complete hollow interior, supported by wire systems and chains installed in 2013 to maintain its structure.
