Vikingeborgen Trelleborg / The Viking Castle Trelleborg (2/2)

In part 2 from my visit to Trelleborg, you will see a reconstruction of one of the longhouses. The last clip in this video shows buildings and activities that have been made in connection with the museum built at the Viking castle Trelleborg.
Trelleborg is a Viking castle located on Zealand near Hejninge, and it is dendrochronologically dated to the year 980. Trelleborg is provided with a fort where 135 burial sites have been found. None of the other castles from the Viking Age have traces of a fort. Trelleborg contains 16 longhouses, 4 in each part of the castle. Furthermore, there are traces of 15 longhouses, which were built outside the ramparts, but still oriented in the direction of the castle center. The Trelleborg site as such has never been forgotten, and the defense facility is clearly visible on maps from the 17th century onwards. But in 1933, a local motorcycle club wanted to make a motocross track on the ramparts, and this gave rise to a closer examination of the terrain. The facility was thus excavated archaeologically in the period 1934-1942. The excavation led to the identification of a circular castle in Denmark for the first time.

This area is very famous, I think I've been here. Beautiful area, full with history of the old days of the vikings. Great video!

[@TheHistoryHikers]

Really awesome reconstruction of a longhouse and impressive earthworks. Always cool to see strange humps in the landscape indicating human activity!

[@dinglehopper85]

It would be amazing to see, if they reconstructed some of the longhouses inside the castle.

[@BackroadExploits]

Outdoor oven and smoker, something all the men can relate too. Amazing history. So nice to see the village recreated. Thanks for taking us on this tour.

[@dinglehopper85]

What I like about this place is, you walk around the outside area any time of the year. But you can only get inside the buildings when the museum is open. It was definitely an amazing place to see and the recreated houses are amazing. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

the earthworks around this castle is epic. Loved to see and read some of the history and information in the beginning, so thank you :D Inside the Viking castle is really impressive, amazing to see how it stands with the tree trunks wow! love the building work here, another FANTASTIC video, thank you for sharing and showing us around Dinglehopper!

[@dinglehopper85]

Thank you very much for your comment. I decided to make two videos from this place, because I don't talk in my videos and I thought that 21 minutes might be to long of a video. So the first video would be the castle and layout of the longhouses. The second video would be information, recontructed longhouse and area with activities (when there are events).
