The stone was erected in 1927 in memory of theology professor Nicolaus Bothniensius, one of the main church leaders in Sweden.
During the Swedish-Russian war (1808 – 1809) Russian soldiers came to Piteå again but not nearly to the same harmful consequences as before. The very last shot on Swedish territory in this war was during the Battle of Pitsund August 25, 1809.
