This stone is placed east of Vadstena Castle in Vadstena. The stone is tinted red and is about 193 centimeter high.
The earliest information about this stone indicates it was placed close by the lake Vättern. When it was moved to the castle it was discovered that the lower part of the stone was worn down by the waves and nothing of the runes there remain.
