Kallerup Stone, Norse runestone at Ansgar Church, Høje-Taastrup Municipality, Denmark.

The granite stone measures 163 centimeters in height, 85 centimeters in width, and displays runic inscriptions on its surface.

A masonry worker discovered the stone in 1827 near Kallerup, between Roskilde and Copenhagen, leading to its restoration in 1851.

The inscription reads 'Hornbura stæinn Svīðings', translated as 'Hornbori's stone, of Sviði's line', providing information about early Danish naming customs.

Visitors can find this protected monument at coordinates 55°39'0.4"N and 12°12'28.1"E, within the cemetery grounds of Ansgar Church.

The stone features text bands carved in runestone style RAK, which became common only in later periods of Danish history.
