Medieval Centre of Bornholm

Here you can spend a few hours or perhaps an entire day experiencing daily life in a peasant society from around 1350 to 1450.

The centre gives you a living, sensory experience by letting you see, smell and touch medieval scenes involving people, animals, houses, a watermill and a fortified rampart.

Try out some of the foot soldier's equipment on the rampart, shoot a bow and arrow, and, at set times, hear a cannon and harquebus being fired.

Everyday life is as realistic as possible. The reality also includes working craftsmen and peasants going about their chores.

The Medieval Centre also hosts an annual medieval week of European importance, including a market, battles, jousting, falconers and much, much more.

Facts:

The Medieval Centre of Bornholm is a historical visitor centre that nestles beautifully in the hills just a few hundred metres from Østerlars Round Church.

Something new is added to the centre every year, and it now includes a unique fortified nobleman's farm.
