Offerkällan or Kungskällan is said to be a sacrificial site where the water has healing power. There is no longer water in the spring.
It is known that from the 18th century various things have been sacrificed to the spring to be cured of diseases. Among other things, money, but also foods such as bread and eggs.
It is also said that King Charles XI must have drunk the water, hence the name "Kungskällan".
In 1857 a wall was built around the spring.
