The Viking farm

At the Viking farm Årsjögård, you travel more than 1000 years back in time and meet vikings that tell you about the life on the farm.
At the farm you will find, among other things, a runestone and a sacrificial place plus several houses such as a smithy, cooking house and the magnificent longhouse.


The longhouse, consisting of a residence and a hall, is the pride of Årsjögård. In the residence there is room for about 20 adults/25 children to spend the night, the hall has room for another 10-15. The longhouse has a beautiful roof consisting of 22 000 shingles. The walls are a plaited work of whicker covered with a mixture of sand, mud and cow dung. It´s 4-5 inches thick and keeps the house warm in the Winter and cool in the Summer.

The hall takes about 60 people and is decorated with beautiful woodcarvings and tapestries. Read more here!
