Craftsmanship

At Bork Vikingehavn , preparations are underway for "jól". The craftsman is making "jólagjafir" - Christmas gifts. Craftsmen played an important role then, as they do now, because even in the Viking Age, you couldn't make everything yourself.

Then the Earl had forgotten to bring home a jólagjafir from the raid for his mistress, so he had to rush to the town's craftsman. Take a look inside the craftsman's house!

Work with pewter, leather and wood crafts while learning about Christmas gifts in the Viking Age.

You can watch the craftsman make jólagjafir on all opening days in November. Get an overview of the opening days and all the experiences here.

A day ticket costs DKK 130 for adults. Children under 18 have free admission.
