Description:
The oldest building in Falun. It was most likely built during the 12th and 13th centuries. In the cemetery outside rests ”’Fet-Mats Israelsson”’, a miner who was killed in a cave-in at the mine in 1677. He was discovered 42 years later, and since the conditions in the mine had preserved his body, his former fiancAe immediately recognized him. Fet-Mats’ corpse was put on display as an attraction for visitors – it wasn’t until 1930 that he was finally laid to rest.
