The Trelleborg is one of the Viking sites in Denmark which is located west of Slagelse . It is one of the best preserved of the Viking ring fortresses and there is a museum here -Trelleborg Museum presenting the story of this fortress and the nearby area.
Cross the bridge and you are at the gate to the fortress where history is alive.
The circular main castle was surrounded by a 5 m high rampart. Can you imagine these walls were erected by the Vikings centuries ago?
The fortifications encircled a total of 16 longhouses. The houses had a ship-like form.
Each house had four entrances, and was divided into three rooms with a large central hall and two smaller rooms at the ends.
Most of the finds at Trelleborg, reflects a peaceful daily life and includes every day utensils such as pottery, locks, keys, fittings, knives, whetstones, combs, weaving weights, scissors and needles. A few craftsmen were engaged in silver, gold and bronze work. Weapons such as iron axes, arrow points and parts of shields were also found.
