About this tour

Join this journey back over 1,000 years to the Viking Age. Walk with Kongernes Jelling, translated to the Kings’ Jelling, among burial mounds and rune stones and get the story of the grand plans that, in three generations, transformed Denmark and echoed throughout Europe. It was here that the Danish kingdom was created, and the country's religious foundation shifted from a belief in Odin and the Æsir to a commitment to White Christ. Meet the first three kings in the Danish monarchy: Gorm the Old, Harald Bluetooth, and Sweyn Forkbeard and hear how great intrigues, monumental constructions, and faith played a part in the stories that changed the world as the Danes saw it. This is the story of how power and symbolic politics worked at the turn of the first millennium AD.

This tour is one of four with the theme “An Outline for Life”. Experience the other tours at Museum Kolding, Mark - The Museum for a New Danish History, and Fredericia Museum.
