Galgstenen, Haninge, Ancient execution site and glacial erratic in Haninge, Sweden
The large stone formation stands near the old Nynäs road, south of Jordbro industrial area, marking a historical judicial location.
The last execution at Galgstenen took place on March 21, 1855, when 26-year-old farmhand Gustav Pettersson from Mörkö received capital punishment.
The stone holds archaeological monument status RAÄ-number Österhaninge 502:1, representing medieval Swedish justice practices and geological formations.
Visitors can reach the site by following the old Nynäs road from Jordbro, with the stone visible from the pathway.
