Trelleborg ring fort

The fortress features a circular design with a six-meter-high earth wall and wooden gate, reconstructed to represent one-quarter of its original 125-meter diameter.

Archaeological excavations in 1988 near the ferry terminal revealed the remains of this Viking fortress, constructed around 980 under King Sven Forkbeard's authority.

The site includes a reconstructed 14th-century farm, Viking museum, and hosts traditional celebrations including Viking markets, camps, and midsummer festivities.

The museum complex provides educational displays, a gift shop, and a café where visitors can learn about Viking military architecture and daily life.

Workers used only historical methods and basic tools like axes and knives during the wooden elements reconstruction, maintaining authentic building techniques.
