Fámjin stone, Norse runestone in Fámjins Church, Faroe Islands
The Fámjin stone displays both Latin and runic inscriptions, representing a combined use of two distinct writing systems in the Faroe Islands.
Dating from after the Faroese reformation of 1538, this stone marks the final period of runic writing in the Faroese territories.
The stone's presence within Fámjins Church demonstrates the connection between Norse traditions and Christian practices in the Faroe Islands.
The stone remains accessible to visitors inside Fámjins Church, which also houses the first Faroese flag from 1919.
This artifact stands as the youngest runestone discovered in the Faroe Islands, indicating the persistence of runic traditions into the 16th century.
