A fantastic day trip from Copenhagen, the museum is accessible all year round and offers a variety of activities and insights into Viking maritime history.Denmark's national ship museum for prehistoric and medieval ships is the Viking Ship Museum (Danish: Vikingeskibsmuseet) in Roskilde. The museum's primary attraction is a permanent display of the Skuldelev ships, five authentic Viking vessels that were dug up in the area in 1962. Additionally, the Viking Ship Museum teaches and does research in the areas of experimental archaeology, marine archaeology, and maritime history. In addition to hosting a number of scholarly conferences, the museum also has a research library.Five Viking ships were purposefully wrecked at Skuldelev in Roskilde Fjord around 1070 to block the most crucial fairway and shield Roskilde from a seaborne enemy attack. In 1962, these ships—later dubbed the Skuldelev ships—were dug up.They were discovered to be five distinct ship categories, ranging from warships to cargo ships. The five recently found Skuldelev ships were the primary focus of the 1969 construction of the Viking Ship Museum, which looks out over the Roskilde Fjord inlet.

You are cordially invited to enter the Ahlefeldt-Laurvig-Bille family's house, Egeskov Castle. The whole family will have a great day exploring the magical castle, taking in the lovely grounds, learning about the intriguing exhibits, and playing in the PlayForest. In the southern part of the Danish island of Funen, close to Kvaerndrup, stands Egeskov Castle (Danish: Egeskov Slot). It is the best-preserved Renaissance water castle in Europe.In 1405, Egeskov was first mentioned.Frands Brockenhuus built the castle's structure in 1554. The majority of Danish noblemen constructed their homes as fortifications due to the problems brought on by the Count's Feud (Danish: Grevens fejde), general civil turmoil, and a civil war that introduced the Protestant Reformation. Built on oaken piles, the castle is situated in a little lake that is hardly deeper than five meters (16 feet). At first, a drawbridge was the only way to get in. The name Egeskov (oak forest) comes from the belief that it took an entire forest of oak trees to build the foundation.Because the castle is made up of two long structures that are joined by a thick double wall, defenders can leave one house and battle from the other. The double wall, which is more than a meter thick, has a well and hidden stairways. The two circular corner towers allowed defenders to strike an enemy's flanks. Arrow slits, scorching holes, and artillery ports are further medieval defenses. "Monks bricks" are a type of huge medieval brick that makes up the fortress. The conical towers are made up of several independent panels.
