    The Schwedenstein is a so-called cross stone. It is a memorial or penance stone intended to commemorate the death of a person. As a rule, it was erected by the sinner to restore their salvation.

    The Schwedenstein south of the 'Grafeneiche' is one of Asel's oldest cultural monuments. The weathered stele presumably dates from the 15th century and belongs to the so-called cross stones, which were erected as memorial or penance markers. Pause for a moment and look at the still recognizable relief remnants – with a little imagination, you can discover the crucified Christ, a kneeling figure, and the inscription 'dem god gnedig sey' (may God be merciful).
