Groß Raden Archaeological Open Air Museum
Groß Raden Archaeological Open Air Museum, Archaeological open-air museum in Groß Raden, Germany.
Groß Raden Archaeological Open Air Museum is a reconstructed Slavic settlement from the 9th century, arranged within a circular fortified rampart approximately 50 meters across and featuring multiple reconstructed buildings and craft workshops. The site sits near a lake in northern Germany and displays structures that reflect how people lived during that era.
Excavations between 1973 and 1980 revealed the remains of a significant Slavic settlement occupied during the 9th century and organized within a fortified enclosure. These discoveries provided the foundation for the current reconstructions of the buildings and structures visible at the site today.
The reconstructed buildings display how Slavic communities organized their homes and work spaces during medieval times, with tools and objects arranged as they would have been used daily. Visitors can walk through and observe the practical layout of domestic and craft activities.
The site is open daily from April through October, with more limited winter hours from Tuesday to Sunday, making spring and autumn ideal visiting times. The grounds are easy to walk through at your own pace, with paths leading through the different areas of the settlement.
The site features a reconstructed Slavic shrine on an island within the water, connected to the main settlement by a wooden bridge that visitors can cross. This isolated placement shows how religious spaces were typically separated from everyday living and working areas in medieval communities.
