Runestone from Tågerup
The runestone of Tågerup is located in the small town of Tågerup, about three kilometers east of Rødby , on the island of Lolland in Denmark , where it was placed on the church wall in 1869. The stone was found in 1868 in a field belonging to the rectory, southeast of Rødby.
Since it was lying with the inscription facing down, it was only discovered when the stone carvers had split it. It was brought to Tågerup Church and assembled. The rune stone has an unusual shape, because it was apparently carved into a fairly round (156 × 146 m) shape, while the stones were otherwise left unprocessed, or at most the writing surface was smoothed.
The text reads: “Østæin's sons built this stone for their brother Spærla, boatman at Æsbjörn Næb”.
Other stones on Lolland are the Sædinge rune stone and the Tillitse rune stone .
