thumb|Bolmsö Church. Bolmsö is an island located in lake Bolmen near Växjö in Småland. It had 382 inhabitants in 1998.
==History== It presents 530 ancient remains, including dolmens and cobble-clad graves in various forms, especially large triangular ones. The dominating graves are large barrows from the Iron Age with the addition of stelae, stone circles and a large stone ship. A farm with the name Hof reveals that it was once a pagan blót temple (see Temple at Uppsala).
