    The runestone is 1.15 m high and 0.58 m wide. It was created around the year 1000. Its existence was forgotten for a long time. It was discovered in 1813 in the eastern wall of the cathedral. Before that it was covered by plaster. Its original location is unknown.
    The runic inscription translated into German reads: Tyke - Tyke Viking erected this stone in memory of Gunnar, Grim's son. May God help his soul.
