Learn more about archaeology and reconstructions

Learn about the background for the buildings that we have been reconstructing since 1992. With the different Viking settings, we're able to showcase the town Ribe's development from the foundation around 700 AD till the end of the 900s. In order to give a complete picture and make history even more hands-on to our visitors, historical interpreters are always on site to recreate everyday life, crafts, trade, farming and customs. All this is based on a huge research work and new knowledge keep turning up with every archaeological dig in old Ribe.
