Why would a massive rune stone be casually leaning against a ditch? Here at the Brogårdsstenen, you’re looking at the largest rune stone on Bornholm. Towering at 2.7 meters, this stone has a story to tell. Svenger, a devoted son and brother, erected this monument. It stands as a testament to his father Toste, brother Alvkaj, mother, and sisters. Their names etched in stone, forever bound to the history of this place. What’s fascinating is that the Brogårdsstenen was nearly forgotten. It was moved in the 1700s and later rediscovered in 1868. Imagine that, a piece of history almost lost. Today it stands proudly near Hasle, a silent sentinel whispering tales of family and honor from a distant past.
