The 2nd runic stone and the Church illustrate the transition of the Danes towards Christianity. The church and the burial mounds have still not revealed all their secrets. One thing we know for sure is that the large runic stone near the church is the birth certificate of Denmark. Officially designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Site, this site is to be safeguarded for the future as a testimony to its enduring past.
