Not far from the city of Aalborg is one of the largest Viking burial sites, known as Lindholm Høje. The burial site consists of two parts: the “lower” part dates back to the 11th century, while the “upper” part dates back to a much earlier era, beginning in the 5th century. Excavations at Lindholm Høje have revealed not only ancient burial sites, but also traces of a settlement, as well as numerous items made of metal, fabric, and glass.
