Lovö Runestones, Norse runestones at Lovö church, Sweden.
Five stone monuments displaying runic inscriptions and serpentine designs stand near the medieval Lovö church on Lovön island in Lake Mälaren.
The runestones, dating from the early 11th century Viking Age, were discovered within church structures during restoration work in 1935.
The inscriptions provide information about Viking Age families through commemorative texts carved in stone, mentioning individuals like Torgils and Signiut.
Located at coordinates 59.321111, 17.839444 in Ekerö Municipality, the site combines archaeological significance with the medieval church architecture.
Runestone U 47, attributed to runemaster Ärnfast, spent time at Drottningholm Palace before returning to its current position in 1952.
