Tillinge Runestone

The runestone displays carved serpentine patterns containing runic inscriptions on its surface, positioned in front of the church building.

The stone, dating from the first half of the 11th century, commemorates a brother who passed away in Serkland during Viking expeditions.

The memorial inscription, written in Old Norse using younger futhark runes, concludes with a traditional prayer for the deceased person's soul.

The monument stands at its original location near Tillinge Church in Enköping Municipality, accessible through coordinates 59.633333, 16.988932.

The stone remained partially unreadable until 1946 when workers extracted it from the church wall where it had been embedded as construction material.
