Källby Runestones, Norse runestone monument in Källby, Sweden
The Källby Runestones consist of two sandstone monuments positioned facing each other, with heights of 4.4 and 3.1 meters respectively.
Swedish scholars documented these runestones during the 16th century surveys, marking them as significant archaeological findings from the Viking Age period.
The inscriptions on both stones display the transition period between Norse traditions and Christianity, using younger futhark runes to commemorate deceased fathers.
Visitors can locate the runestones in Västra Götaland County, where they stand as protected monuments under the Fornminnesregistret cultural heritage registry.
One stone features a carved figure wearing a headdress with antlers, while holding a stick and displaying a large belt.
