9,000 years of Irish history: in this spacious open-air museum you will discover how people once lived here. The focus is on prehistoric settlements, early Christianity and the era when first the Vikings and then the Normans stormed the island. Reconstructions bring these epochs back to life. You can see, among other things, a castle and a monastery, Viking houses and ring forts.

If you want to delve even deeper into history, you can take a guided tour, take a class and even spend a night like a Viking.

Very nicely landscaped park. With the audio guide you can learn the history and meaning of many buildings and who used to live there. So be sure to borrow it. Entry costs € 10 pp, parking is free. You should plan about 1.5 - 2 hours.
The best way to start is with the free 15-minute video. If desired, a German subtitle can be displayed there. The English of the video is excellent.
If you are hungry and thirsty afterwards, you can eat in the restaurant. There is of course also a gift shop.
