Tryggevælde Runestone, Norse runestone in Copenhagen, Denmark
The Tryggevælde Runestone displays carved inscriptions using the Younger Futhark runic alphabet, standing as a memorial stone from the Viking Age period.
Dating back to 900 CE, this stone was moved from a barrow to the Tryggevælde estate in 1555 before being transferred to Copenhagen in 1810.
The inscription tells the story of Ragnhild, who created this monument in memory of her husband Gunnulfr, including a curse against those who would damage it.
The National Museum of Denmark maintains this runestone in its permanent collection, allowing visitors to examine Norse craftsmanship and runic writing systems.
This runestone contains the first recorded mention of the Old Scandinavian ship type called skeið in written Nordic history.
