On a beautiful hill in Lejre Land of Legends lies the recreated version of the largest royal hall we know from the Viking Age in Denmark. The remains of the original building were excavated less than three kilometers from Lejre Land of Legends, in a field in the village of Gl. Lejre. Here, archaeologists had been busy on several occasions excavating the remains of an impressive settlement stretching from the Iron Age well into the Viking Age.

In 2009, the remains of Denmark’s largest Viking Age house emerged from the rubble. At just over 60 meters from gable to gable, the hall was about as long as a modern football pitch is wide, and with its rows of large, thick posts, the structure could support a building with a ceiling height of over 10 meters. Covering over 600m2, the Great Royal Hall is a unique testament to the culmination of Nordic architecture and craftsmanship in the Viking Age.
