Hällestad Runestones, Norse runestones at Hällestad Church, Lund Municipality, Sweden
Three sandstone and granite runestones embedded in the walls of Hällestad Church display runic inscriptions commemorating fallen warriors of Viking battles.
The stones, dated to the late 10th century, contain inscriptions referencing the Battle of Fýrisvellir near Uppsala and connections to Danish king Gorm the Old.
The inscriptions reveal Viking Age social structures through terms like hemþægi, indicating relationships between warriors and their leaders during the period.
The runestones remain accessible for viewing at Hällestad Church, located 20 kilometers east of Lund in the Skåne region of southern Sweden.
The stones use boustrophedon writing, where text alternates direction between lines, preserving information about Toki Gormsson and his fellow warriors.
