Skogsö monument, Granite monument in Skogsö, Sweden.
The Skogsö monument stands four meters tall and one meter wide on a cliff overlooking the Baggensstäket bay in Nacka Municipality.
King Oscar II inaugurated the monument on July 8, 1905, to commemorate the Battle of Stäket and the defenders who protected Stockholm in 1719.
The inscription 'Med Gud till seger' on the monument reflects Swedish military heritage and honors commanders Rutger Fuchs, Johan von Essen, and Baltzar von Dahlheim.
The monument location within Skogsö nature reserve provides access through a dedicated road and offers opportunities for nature walks and photography.
Two iron cannons, originally pointing east and later repositioned to face west, flank the red granite stone on its base.
