Uppsala, Sweden - Gamla Uppsala - Runestone in church wall

This is an 11th century runestone that was built into the foundation of the Gamla Uppsala Church.

 

A small sign nearby said that when the church was built a portion of this runestone was cut to convert into an altar to be used inside the church. There was a wedding taking place when I visited, so I was unable to go inside and see if it was still there.
