Ale vikingagård, Viking farm reconstruction in Ale Municipality, Sweden.
Ale vikingagård is a reconstructed Viking farm featuring a 36-meter longhouse with residential spaces, animal enclosures, and work areas. The layout reflects how Viking settlements were organized, with all functions gathered under one roof or nearby structures.
This reconstruction was built in 2001 based on a 10th-century Viking chieftain's farm. The design draws from archaeological discoveries at Tissø in Denmark and similar sites in Norway.
The farm functions as an educational center where visitors participate in traditional Viking activities such as archery, bread making, and knife work.
You can walk around the outdoor grounds freely, though the longhouse is usually locked. Regular events are held throughout the year, so checking the schedule online before visiting helps you plan activities you might enjoy.
Researchers carry out experiments here to study ancient smoke patterns, heat retention, and how Viking-era tools actually worked. These practical tests help archaeologists understand the reality of daily life in Viking times.
