Here, at the narrow point between the Schlei branch of the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, the important Viking sea trading center Haithabu flourished between the 8th and 11th centuries. The exhibition house impressively tells the story of this time with replicas and archaeological finds. Seven Viking houses were also reconstructed on the site, in which mediaeval life is shown very vividly.
The museum is currently open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (deviations are possible on public holidays) and the prices vary from 3 (children) to 9 euros (adults). In the Haithabu Café you can strengthen yourself afterwards and let the impressions have a lasting effect. The café is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The museum tells the story of the early Middle Ages, where Haithabu was a kind of trading center. There are lots of exciting things to discover: original finds, reconstructed models, etc.
But not only the museum itself is worth a visit, but also the directly adjoining Noor (a almost completely separated from a larger body of water, lake-like part, often with special flora and fauna) as well as the outdoor area of the museum, where it u.a. There are seven Viking houses to visit.
