Rödsten

Rödsten is a residential area in Åtvidaberg Municipality situated within the Östergötland region, featuring homes set among green spaces and woodland. The settlement sits near the historical mining territories that shaped the local landscape.

The settlement developed in an area shaped by centuries of copper mining, which took place from the 14th century until the late 1800s. This mining tradition influenced how the region developed and left a lasting mark on the local identity.

The region maintains strong community ties through regular events and gatherings at local centers, fostering connections among residents of all generations.

The area offers typical residential amenities and connections to local services that support daily life. Visitors will find it a quiet neighborhood with easy access to surrounding forests and natural spaces.

A commemorative plaque at the nearby Mormorsgruvan mine marks an unusual mass migration during the 1800s. About one-third of the local population at that time relocated to Ishpeming, Michigan.
