Källby Runestones, Norse runestone monument in Källby, Sweden

The Källby Runestones are two sandstone monuments standing face to face, each rising to different heights. Both bear carved runes and human figures that provide insight into their original purpose and creation.

Vg 55, the taller stone, was described by Ole Worm in 1555 and has been known since 16th-century runestone surveys; an inspection in 1995–96 found 84% of its runes intact. Vg 56 originally stood at Skavums and was moved across the road from Vg 55 in 1669.

The inscriptions honor deceased fathers and show how local people maintained Norse traditions through stone monuments. These markers reveal what mattered most to families during the era when they were carved.

The two stones stand outdoors beside the road between Lidköping and Götene at Källby hallar, with a burial field nearby. Vg 55, the southern stone, is 4.4 m tall; Vg 56, the northern one, is 3.1 m and stands across the road. Both are registered monuments in the Fornminnesregistret.

One of the stone carvings shows a figure wearing antlers on its head while grasping a stick or staff. This unusual depiction stands out among typical runestone imagery from the period.
