Fjenneslevsten
The Fjenneslevsten (DK Sj 60, DR 238) is a rune stone from granite , the church of around 1830 during the demolition of the cemetery wall Fjenneslev , east of Soro on the Danish island of Zealand was found. It was erected in the Fjenneslev cemetery around 1910 and placed under protection in 1982.
The Fjenneslev Stone has an unusual shape for a rune stone. The stone is 2.2 m high, 63 cm thick and abnormally wide at 1.26 m. But instead of putting the inscription on the broad side as usual, it was decided to place the inscription on the longer narrow side. It is unknown where Fjenneslevstein originally stood, but it is obvious that it stood by the bridge over the Tuelå (river), which is still called “Sasserbro”.
The inscription runs from top to bottom, which is unusual on rune stones. There is a simple small cross above the inscription . The inscription deals with the bridge construction, as it is mainly known from central Sweden in the early 1000s. There are also Danish examples of this, the Källstorpstenen - DK Sk 88; DR 269, which was built in the then Danish Skåne . The name Sasser is associated with the local noble family of the Hvide (Weiss), whose member Asser Rig is the builder of the church in Fjenneslev.
Nearby is the lie passage grave Barnehøj and the round Bjernede Church .
