About the house
Denmark's oldest reconstructed longhouse
Archaeologists found traces of a total of 31 longhouses around Trelleborg, 16 inside the ring fortress and 15 in the outer fort. Archaeologist and former director of the National Museum, Poul Nørlund, had the longhouse built, which was completed in 1942. Later excavations have shown that the support posts along the outer walls are not correct. They have been slanted and supported by the roof-bearing beam.
Sleep, eat, train
Step into the everyday life of the Vikings
When you step into the longhouse, you step back in time to the 10th century. Back then, the Vikings slept and ate around the fire in the middle of the house. Three rooms divide the 29.6-meter-long house, which is approximately 8 meters at its widest point. Around 80 oak trees were used to build the house, which is constructed entirely of vertical posts.
