Sønder Vinge stone 2

The granite stone measures 180 centimeters in height, 132 centimeters in width, and contains inscriptions using the Younger Futhark runic alphabet.

Discovered in 1866, this Viking Age runestone served as a corner stone of Sønder Vinge Church, with runic inscriptions facing toward the exterior.

The stone contains memorial text dedicated to Órókia and Kaða, along with a distinctive curse inscription similar to other Scandinavian runestones.

Visitors can examine this historical artifact in the church porch, where it remains protected from weather conditions that could damage the inscriptions.

Scholars continue to debate the interpretation of the term 'ræti' found in the stone's inscription, which may refer to a warlock in Old Norse.
