Freemason's Tomb, Historic grave site in Kaisaniemi Park, Finland.
The memorial consists of a stone marker encircled by a metal fence decorated with artillery symbols and masonic square and compass designs.
Major Fredrik Granatenhjelm, a Swedish Royal Knight who served in the Finnish artillery brigade at Suomenlinna Fortress, received this burial place in 1785.
The Swedish inscription on the stone communicates a message about divine recognition of good deeds regardless of earthly acknowledgment.
The memorial stands on a grassy elevation northwest of the Kaisaniemi Botanical Gardens, making it visible to park visitors.
The corners of the iron fence feature decorative knobs shaped as field artillery grenades, referencing the surname Granatenhjelm of the person buried there.
