Granavollen stone, Norse runestone at Granavollen, Norway.
The Granavollen stone stands behind St. Nicholas Church, featuring runic inscriptions with straight text bands carved directly into its surface.
Dating from 1050, the runestone commemorates a brother named Aufi through an inscription created during the transition period between Norse paganism and Christianity.
The stone's inscription reflects the gradual integration of Christian beliefs into Norse society through a prayer for Aufi's soul at the end of the text.
Visitors can access the runestone by following the path behind St. Nicholas Church in Gran Municipality, where informational panels explain its significance.
The inscription reveals family connections, mentioning Aun Ryggja's sons who raised the memorial for their brother Aufi in the RAK style of runic carving.
