Description
The old man with the voice, located next to the highway south of Grebo, is a fertility symbol. Its age is not certain, but it could be as old as the 5th century BC. The bottom stone is painted red and on it is a smaller one painted white. At the top is the head painted black. Next to the stone is a roundel of stones. Rösten is a unique ancient monument in Sweden as it is the country's only phallic symbol and is the subject of many legends. The farm at Rösten probably dates from the 18th century. According to a legend, the stones must be repainted at the same time as the houses, otherwise the farm will burn down. The barn burned down in 1920. Was it because of Röstensgubben?

Facts
Rösten är ett unikt fornminne i Sverige då det är landets enda fallossymbol och mycket sägenomspunnen. Gården vid Rösten är troligen från 1700-talet. Enligt en sägen måste stenarna målas om samtidigt som husen, annars brinner gården ner. Ladugården brann ner år 1920. Var det på grund av Röstensgubben?
Directions
