Bork Vikingehavn

Step into the World of the Vikings at Bork Vikingehavn

Where History Comes to Life and Adventure Awaits

In the harbor, authentically reconstructed Viking ships gently sway with the waves. Inside the longhouse, the housewife sews new garments, while sparks fly as the blacksmith forges swords at the smithy. In the small wooden church, candles flicker beneath the image of the triumphant Christ, and offerings are made to the Norse gods in the sacred grove.​

Upon entering Bork Vikingehavn, you journey back 1,000 years. The Vikings of West Jutland lived in villages, often with moorings for their ships. Here, you can explore reconstructed longhouses and experience how the Vikings lived and worked. Light a candle in the impressive stave church, make an offering in the sacred grove, and admire the intricately handcrafted “Bork tapestry”, inspired by the renowned Bayeux Tapestry in Normandy.​

During the peak season, Bork Vikingehavn comes alive: you can engage with the Vikings through all your senses, and children can participate in numerous activities. In quieter periods, there's an opportunity to delve into the artistic craftsmanship and study the details of the Viking houses.​
