The Flemløse stones ( Danish Flemløse Stenen ) 1 and 2 are two rune stones that are now in the park of Jægerspris Castle on the Danish island of Zealand .

Flemløse Stone 1

The unadorned stone from Flemløse 1 ( DR 192 or DK Fyn 2) was found in 1623 in the Flemløse cemetery on Funen in Denmark. Thomas Nafnsen, the pastor of Flemøse 1553–1598, reports in 1606 that he belongs to Voldtofte Mark. Jon Skonvig (1600–1664), on the other hand, writes that he came from a large hill near the church, and Thomas Bang (1600–1661) that he was standing at Flemløse across from the Lammemose. In 1842 it was taken over by Frederick VII (1808–1863) and since 1854 it has stood in the park of Jægerspris about 20 m north of the grave of Louise Countess Danner next to the rune stone Flemløse 2 and the Sønderbystein. The granite stone, dated from 750 to 900 AD, is 1.75 m high, 86 cm wide and 56 cm thick. It is one of the oldest rune stones in Denmark.

It is well preserved, but some of the 11 to 16 cm high runes are missing, including the entire fourth line, but they can be supplemented on the basis of the old drawings. The text written in the RAK rune stone style from the bottom left in bustrophedon ("furrowing") reads:

“According to Roulv, this stone stands. He was a good {NuRa} priest, the sons established him. Ávarr made the runes . "

Flemløse Stone 2

The stone from Flemløse 2 (DR 193; DK Fyn 3) is a rune stone that was found in Flemløse on Fyn in 1840. When it was discovered, he was lying in front of the gate of a farm in Voldtofte. The original location of the stone is unknown. From the runic text only "ruulfR sis" (Rolf put) is preserved. The stone is one of the oldest rune stones in Denmark.

Sønderby rune stone

There is a report from the year 1809 about the runestone from Sønderby by Pastor Halsøe from Sønderby. He writes: "... in a wall near Frederiksgave Castle on Fyn there is a stone 1.25 to 1.9 m high, which comes from a knocked-down hill in a field". In 1854 the 1.46 m high and 22 to 55 cm wide stone came to Copenhagen and later to Jægerspris Castle. In 1930, all three rune stones were placed around Countess Danner's grave mound.
