Lindholm Høje, Archaeological burial ground in Nørresundby, Denmark.
The site displays 682 graves and 150 boat-shaped stone settings spread across a hilltop overlooking the Limfjord waterway.
Between 500 and 1000 CE, Vikings established a settlement here, which was later covered by sand drifts preserving the burial grounds.
The stone arrangements reveal Viking burial practices, including cremation rituals and the positioning of stones in ship formations.
The Lindholm Høje Museum provides guided tours and exhibits archaeological findings, including tools, jewelry, and everyday objects from the settlement.
The site contains preserved plow marks from the last Viking farming activities, frozen in time by the sand coverage around 1000 CE.
