Who Lies Buried There
A Swedish Royal Knight; a veteran of the Seven Years' War and the War of the Caps, Fredrik Granatenhjelm (May 1, 1708 - December 13, 1784), lies buried there. Despite the name the monument has assumed in mind of people because of the square and compasses decorations, whether Granatenhjelm himself was a member of the Freemasons is not proven even if some historians have been led to assume it, perhaps out of weight from the popular designation of the monument. It is known for certain that he was posthumously made an honorary member of the quasi-masonic Walhalla-orden.
