Christian Eriksson was a sculptor who among other things has made the sculpture "St. Göran and the dragon" in the Town Hall in Stockholm. To his house and studio, Oppstuhage, came many artists to visit and several of them fell in love with the district and bought a place of their own round the lake. Today you can see productions of these artists at Rackstad Museum and also visit Oppstuhage.
