The Lindholm Høje cemetery near Aalborg is Denmark's largest cemetery with 682 graves. Graves in the shape of ships, triangular and circular. There is a lot to see and discover.

These are not war graves (perhaps more like warrior graves...).
This is a cemetery from the late Nordic Iron Age and Viking Age - Denmark's largest cemetery with 682 graves. Graves in the shape of ships, triangular and circular from the period between 800 and 1,100 AD.

The Lindholm Høje burial ground is one of the most beautiful monuments of the late Iron Age and Viking Age. The burial ground was used from 400 AD to 1000 AD. The many stone settings at the burial ground mark almost 700 cremation graves.

At Lindholm Høje Museum you can see two large exhibitions. One is about the life of the Vikings at Lindholm Høje and the other covers antiquity around the Limfjord and its surroundings. In addition, the museum has a museum shop where you can buy copies of original Viking jewelry found at Lindholm Høje, as well as wool products, books and mead - the Viking drink.

At the museum you can also visit Café Lindholm, which offers food, Viking coffee and small refreshments during the museum's opening hours.

If you're already in Aalborg, it's worth taking a short detour to the war graves
