In the years 1830/31 Doctor Per Rissler had his
home
Hornsberg built on the
island Frösön just opposite his working place, the
hospital in Östersund on the other side of the water.
The name Hornsberg was a tribute to his wife whose maiden name
was "von Horn".
Today Hornsberg is a densely built-up area but of the home that
gave name to the place there is nothing left. The street name
Risslersgatan gives a hint to
where it was situated.
The pictures below show an oil painting of the house Hornsberg seen from
Frösön in direction Östersund and the other a drawing from the bridge to Östersund.
The Jamtli museum in Östersund has a
photo which may has served as master for the painting.
