    At the Ladby Viking Museum on Kerteminde Fjord, you can enter Denmark's
    oldest royal grave. More than 1,000 years ago,
    an unnamed king was buried here in his Viking ship.
    The museum houses Denmark's only ship grave from the Viking Age,
    an attraction of international renown. The Ladby Ship is atmospherically
    represented as a burial chamber in a reconstructed burial mound, exactly on the spot
    where it was found in 1935. Archaeological research has shown
    that the Viking ship was pulled ashore around the year 925, where the dead king was buried in the ship with his horses, dogs, weapons, and other valuables.
    The main attraction of the Ladby Viking Museum is the Viking ship grave of the King of Ladby. The exhibition "Ladbykongens Verden" (The World of Ladby) provides a comprehensive and general account of the Viking Age.
    A faithful replica of the Ladby ship, reconstructed Vikings, dead horses,
    and grave goods are on display alongside display cases containing the original objects from the tomb. The exhibition also features the unique Ladby Tapestry, a seven-meter-long embroidered tapestry inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry
    from Normandy. It tells the story of the death of the King of Ladby
    and the discovery of his tomb 1,000 years later – in colorful images.

    Throughout the summer, you can experience the replica Viking ship, the Ladbydragen,
    lying and rocking in the fjord below the burial mound, exactly where the original ship was pulled ashore over 1,000 years ago.

    An exciting program awaits you throughout the year, with current lectures on the Viking Age, guided tours about the King of Ladby and the Viking Age, and many Viking activities. An exciting program of Viking activities is offered during the school holidays.

    Depending on the season, you can try your hand at archaeology, archery, spear throwing, Viking warfare, ceramics, woodworking, and more, all under the guidance of the museum's knowledgeable and experienced instructors.

    Throughout the year, treasure hunts for children are also held throughout the museum.
