Jacobsbergs park, Listed building complex in Gotland Municipality, Sweden.

Jacobsbergs park is a landscape garden in Follingbo parish on Gotland, enclosed by a limestone wall. In the north stood a lookout tower: a three-storey wooden house set in a frame of stone pillars, with cabin-like rooms. A terrace with a cannon battery lies beside it, and Jacob Dubbe's name is carved into the rock at the rear.

Jacob Dubbe laid out Jacobsberg from 1802 as a garden for Rosendal farm. In 1827 he moved his three daughters' coffins into a fireproof brick burial chamber, consecrated by Bishop Carl Johan Eberstein on 2 September. The viewing tower collapsed in 1863, was rebuilt by Johan Pehrsson in 1865 to designs by Erik Johan Åberg and Johan Fredrik Åbom, and burned down in 1958.

Jacob Dubbe named the park after himself and had the name carved into the rock behind the viewing tower. The garden mixes native and exotic trees, with bowers, winding paths and viewpoints, while box, ivy, yew, honeysuckle, roses and vines surround the burial chamber. From the late 19th century until the 1950s, the park six kilometres from Visby was a popular excursion destination for the town's residents.

The park lies about six kilometres from Visby, reached via a poplar avenue from Rosendal. Since the tower burned in 1958, the listed grounds have been largely inaccessible to visitors; the surrounding limestone wall and overgrown paths mean you should expect no facilities or marked routes.

The grave chamber holds a Baroque chandelier and a medieval stained-glass window taken from Follingbo Church, and its roof is a 14th-century tomb slab moved from the Sankt Hans ruin. It was consecrated on 2 September 1827 by Bishop Carl Johan Eberstein.
