The Biskopssten (also Biskopsten ; German "Bischofsstein" ) in the cemetery ( Swedish kyrkogård ) of Tomtberga, northeast of Huddinge in the Swedish province of Stockholm County and the historic province of Södermanland in Sweden is a boulder (Swedish. Flyttblock or Jättekast ), which during the ice age was relocated here. It was declared a natural monument.
The boulder measures about 7.0 by 4.0 meters and is about 3.5 meters high with a point upwards.
A sexton's hut stood nearby until the 1800s. The house was called "Biskopbacken" and its last occupant was the sexton Anders Persson (born 1736). It is not known whether the Bischofsstein was named after the hut or vice versa. The conical block is also reminiscent of a bishop's cap.
The rune stone Klemenskersten 7 near Klemensker on Bornholm is nicknamed "Biskopssten". Bishopsten is an archipelago in Vårdö municipality in the Åland Islands in Finland .
