Aarhus Runestones

DR 63 also known as Aarhus Stone 1 is from c. 970–1020 and has been known since Ole Worm's time in Aarhus when it was used as building material in a wall of the cloister connecting the Church of Our Lady to the priory.

Traces of mortar and the carving of the stone suggests it has been used in other structures prior to being placed in the Church of Our Lady.

At some point it disappeared from the church but was found in the harbor bulwark in 1866.

It was found as part of a staircase during a renovation of Aarhus Cathedral School in 1847.

The stone has been carved a number of times suggesting it has been used a building material on more than one occasion.

The stone contains an inscription and the carving of a 110 cm-tall (43 in) mask in mammen style.
