Guided tour: The Hunnestad Monument – Scanias most impressive Viking Age Monument

What really hides behind these thousand-year-old runic inscriptions? In the museum entrance stands four runic- and pictorial stones from the area of Ystad – the so-called Hunnestad Monument. Erected around 985–1035 this is considered the most impressive monument from the Scanian Viking Age and in this tour we decipher the runic inscriptions, interpret the pictorial motifs and the dramatic historical context in which the stones were erected. We encounter puzzling mythological motifs, Byzantine warriors and signs of the arrival of a new religion.
