Between Copenhagen and Rothskilde (8km East of Roskilde). Not to be confused with Hedehusene, in Varde, near Esbjerg.
In the graveyard is the Kallerup Stone. It was discovered in 1827 by a stonemason in a field with several stone circles near a church in Hedehusene. It was then restored in 1851 by raising it near its original position. This granite runestone, which is 1.6 meters in height, is among the oldest in Denmark and is believed to date from about 700 to 800 CE. The elder futhark inscription is somewhat unusual in that it uses text bands, a practice that did not become common on runestones until later with the use of the younger futhark. The Kallerup Stone is classified as being carved in runestone style RAK. This is the classification for inscriptions where the runic text has no dragon or serpent heads and the ends of the runic text bands are straight. The runestone is known locally as the Kallerupstenen.
