Home > Ardre image stone


 

The Ardre image stones are a collection of ten 8th century rune and image stones. They were used as paving under the wooden floors of the local church in the Ardre parish of Gotland, and were re-discovered when the church was restored around 1900. They are now preserved in the National Museum of Antiquities, Stockholm.
