Färentuna Runestones, Norse runestones at Färentuna Church, Ekerö Municipality, Sweden.

The stone fragments labeled U 20, U 21, and U 22 in the Rundata catalog display inscriptions carved in the younger futhark runic alphabet.

During church renovations, workers discovered fragments U 20 and U 21 beneath wall plaster, revealing their incorporation into the building's structure.

The inscriptions on U 20 and U 21 narrate the family story of Gerlög and Inga, connecting to other stones like Hillersjö and Snottsta.

Visitors can observe fragments U 20 and U 21 embedded in the church wall, positioned to the left of the main entrance gate.

The U 22 stone features runic text enclosed within a serpent design that follows the stone's edge, commissioned by three brothers for their father.
