Ale vikingagård

The site features a 36-meter longhouse with living quarters, animal enclosures, and workshops arranged according to historical Viking settlement patterns.

Built in 2001, this reconstruction mirrors a Viking chieftain's farm from the 10th century, based on archaeological findings from Tissø, Denmark and Norway.

The farm functions as an educational center where visitors participate in traditional Viking activities such as archery, bread making, and knife work.

While the longhouse remains locked, visitors can explore the grounds and attend regular events by consulting the online calendar at alevikingagard.info.

Archaeologists conduct experiments in the longhouse to study ancient smoke patterns, heat retention, and the effectiveness of Viking-era tools.
