An old grave in the park - the golden text is written in Swedish: Lika Godt om verlden vet hvem här vilar alt nog Gud käner hvad han gjort och uslingen välsingar Hans minne.
The memorial known as the `Freemason's Tomb' is the grave of major Fredrik Granatenhjelm (1708-84) of the Finnish artillery brigade. It is the oldest official memorial in Helsinki! It was erected by colonel Lars Jägerhorn.

The tomb comprises a memorial stone and a surrounding iron fence. The insignia of the field artillery are attached to the fence, as are burning bombs and the symbol of the freemasons.
The stone contains the text: "Lika Godt om verlden vet hvem här vilar alt nog Gud käner hvad han gjort och uslingen välsignar hans minne" (It means nothing if the world is ignorant of who sleeps here. God knows his deeds and the wretched bless his memory).
Fredrik Granatenhjelm disposed of his fortune by will to poor children.
