Ribe VikingeCenter, Open-air museum and theme park in Lustrup, Denmark
The Ribe VikingeCenter spans 12 hectares with authentic reconstructions of Viking buildings, farms, and workshops based on archaeological discoveries from the region.
The center, established in 1992, recreates life in Ripa during the period from 700 to 1000 AD when Ribe functioned as a major trading settlement.
Skilled artisans demonstrate traditional Viking crafts including glass bead making, blacksmithing, weaving, falconry, and jewelry production throughout the operating season.
The center welcomes visitors from May through October, offering guided tours and educational programs for school groups with limited wheelchair accessibility.
Visitors can participate in hands-on activities such as archery, bread baking, and traditional games while interacting with costumed interpreters in the reconstructed village.
