The reconstructed village complex of a medieval settlement offers a vivid glimpse into the daily life of the rural population that lived here eight centuries ago.
There are houses, granaries, and gardens to explore, and the chance to try your hand at archery. In the fields, wild fallow grass sprouts alongside sown crops like winter rye and hemp. There are also typical farm animals of the Middle Ages, including the Skudden, a sheep breed threatened with extinction. Their spring offspring delight not only families with children.
A guided tour explains how the original settlement was discovered, on the site of which the museum village now stands. You’ll learn what excavations have revealed about the daily life of the people who lived here and how everything is connected: the finds in the ground, the plants in the fields, and the huts behind the palisade. Those who want to get hands-on can help at the historic rope-making workshop to twist a rope from plant fibers.
