Sparlösa Runestone, Norse runestone in Sparlösa socken, Sweden
The Sparlösa Runestone stands 1.77 meters tall and displays inscriptions on all four sides plus the top surface, featuring both elder and younger futhark runes.
Found in 1669 within the southern wall of Sparlösa church, the stone split during repairs after a fire in 1684 and remained separated until 1937.
The stone contains references to the Yngling dynasty through names like Eric and Alrik, along with depictions of ships, buildings, and various animal figures.
Visitors can examine the runestone in a dedicated exhibition space adjacent to Sparlösa Church, with access through Vara Municipality's customer service center.
Dating to approximately 800 AD, this runestone includes the phrase runaR ræginkundu, meaning runes of divine origin, connecting it to ancient Norse mythology.
