about Fyrkat
Fyrkat is an archaeological site made up of nine reconstructed Viking houses and a ringfort as well as a Viking cemetery. It is thought that the fort at Fyrkat was established during the reign of Harald I Bluetooth in around 980 AD.
There are also exhibitions about the history of the Vikings.
Just as empires rise and fall so do entry fees and opening hours!
