Kongernes Jelling

The museum features two significant runestones placed by King Gorm the Old and King Harald Bluetooth, marking the establishment of Denmark as a nation.

King Harald Bluetooth constructed a large monument complex in the 10th century, including burial mounds, wooden buildings, and a stone palisade surrounding the area.

The Jelling stones represent the transition from Norse mythology to Christianity in Denmark through their inscriptions and symbolic decorations on the monuments.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, with adult tickets priced at 60 DKK while children under 18 enter without charge.

The Bluetooth wireless technology name and symbol originate from King Harald Bluetooth, who united Denmark, with the design based on the ancient runes found here.
