Snottsta and Vreta stones, Viking runestones in Uppland, Sweden

The collection consists of four stone monuments marked as U 329, U 330, U 331, and U 332, located at Snottsta and Vreta homesteads.

These eleventh-century stones were carved between 1050 and 1080 to document property rights and inheritance matters within a notable Swedish family.

The inscriptions tell the story of Gerlög and Inga, detailing female inheritance practices and property ownership during the Viking Age in Sweden.

The stones are accessible by combining train and bus transportation from Stockholm, with spring and summer offering the most favorable visiting conditions.

The inscriptions on these stones reveal that Ragnfast was the sole heir of Sigfast, while also mentioning a staff raised to commemorate deceased children.
