Rock Carvings of Boglösa, Bronze Age petroglyphs in Boglösa, Sweden.

The rock carvings spread across two main locations near Boglösa Kyrka and in Brandskogen, featuring abstract representations carved into stone surfaces.

These petroglyphs, created between 1500-500 BC, demonstrate the ancient practices of marking significant maritime events and religious ceremonies in Swedish society.

The carvings include detailed depictions of ships, human figures, footprints, circles, wheels, rings, and spirals that represent the beliefs of Bronze Age communities.

The site maintains informational resources and guided tours for visitors, with access routes leading to both the church location and Brandskogen area.

The Brandskogen Ship carving measures 4.13 meters in length and displays a detailed hull decorated with moose head designs.
