Viking Museum Haithabu

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 Haithabu Viking Museum is one of the most important archaeological museums in Germany. UNESCO named the Viking Age trading center and border structure Danewerk a World Heritage Site in 2018. The exhibition house, as well as the seven reconstructed houses located on the historic site, impressively show how people lived there in the early Middle Ages.
