Sweden's largest burial mound

Anundshög 5, 725 96 Västerås, Sweden

Anundshög is Sweden's largest ancient burial mound, likely dating from 500-700 AD. Folk tradition says that King Bröt-Anund rests inside, but the grave has never been excavated. As early as the Stone Age around 2500 BC, people began to settle on the long Badelundaåsen, which was formed when the ice sheet retreated. Around the ridge, the trade routes and waterways of antiquity met.
