Middelaldercentret, Archaeological open-air museum in Sundby, Denmark
Description
Middelaldercentret is an open-air museum in Sundby that recreates a market town from 1400, featuring period-accurate buildings, tools, and weapons. The site displays daily activities and crafts as they were actually performed during that time.
History
The museum was founded in 1992 and opened with the construction of a trebuchet to mark the 700th anniversary of Nykøbing Falster. These origins established it as a place where medieval technology and craftsmanship remain central today.
