Behind the cathedral stands a very old Viking funerary stone dating back to the year 1000. Found in the east chapel, it features a text in runes engraved in the shape of a snake. The translation can be found on a nearby descriptive panel: "Stone erected by Tyke the Viking in memory of Gunnar, son of Grim. May God protect his soul".
The runic alphabet is also detailed here: an opportunity to write your first name using the letters of the ancient Scandinavian peoples.
