Utmelandsmonumentet, Governmental listed building complex in Mora Municipality, Sweden

The Utmelandsmonumentet stands over a cellar entrance, constructed with granite and carved sandstone, featuring a glass lantern for natural light penetration.

The monument was inaugurated on September 29, 1860, marking the 300th anniversary of Gustav Vasa's death, following a national fundraising campaign.

The interior displays paintings by Höckert, Bergh, and King Karl XV depicting events from Gustav Vasa's escape through Dalarna region.

The monument includes an adjacent storehouse from 1522, donated by artist Anders Zorn, which connects to the period of Gustav Vasa.

Under the eaves, a frieze displays the coat of arms of Swedish provinces, indicating the monument's significance for the entire kingdom.
