Tryggevælde Runestone, Norse runestone in Copenhagen, Denmark
The Tryggevælde Runestone is a Viking Age memorial carved with inscriptions in the Younger Futhark runic script. The stone shows the craftsmanship typical of Norse monuments, with clearly defined runes and careful composition.
The stone was raised around 900 CE during the Viking Age. It was moved from its original burial mound location to the Tryggevælde estate in 1555, then transferred to Copenhagen in 1810.
The inscriptions record Ragnhild's devotion, as she raised this monument to honor her husband Gunnulfr. This personal dedication offers a window into how people commemorated their loved ones during the Viking Age.
The runestone is now displayed in the National Museum of Denmark's permanent collection in Copenhagen. You can view it up close and examine the runic inscriptions and carved details directly.
The stone records the earliest known mention of skeið, a type of Viking ship, in any Scandinavian runic monument. This reference provides a rare glimpse into the specific vessels that Norse people built and named during this period.
