Runsten i Ljungby

Along Märta Ljungbergsvägen in Ljungby, diagonally across from Ljungby Hospital, there is a green area where the runestone stands at the top of a hill.

This broken piece of a runestone has been missing for a long time, and no one knows where it originally stood. From the text, one can read today: ‘Väfus placed the stone after…-borg, their sister.’ The stone was discovered in the 1950s when the small cottage on the hill was demolished. The stone was found in the foundation of the house. The cottage was built in 1861, and building materials from Ljungby’s medieval church, which had been demolished a few years earlier, were reused.
