The visit to Ribe Viking Center was very exciting. I was able to put my hand on various attractions and try archery, woodwork, knitting with needle. The vikings who were in the houses were happy to answer the questions and I gained a lot of new knowledge. The Center also has a farm with many animals: cows, sheep’s, pig with piglets and some friendly cats. In the middle of the day there was an exciting bird show and in addition you could see a cool performance where viking played with fire and did some juggling.

About an hour drive from Aarhus, this is a great way to spend an afternoon feeling a real sense of place, with rune stones (carved memorials) burial mounds, remnants of a palisade and a sense of the conversion to Christianity. The museum is interesting and well designed, using high tech interactive exhibits to tell the Viking story, and gives a real sense of context to the historical site.

The house was built in 1589, in the typical architectural style of Kolding, as a gable house facing the street. This tradition originated from the North German trading towns and spread to the Danish towns along the Little Belt during the Middle Ages. There are only a few surviving examples left in Denmark of this construction method, which gave many owners direct access to the street. Amongst these, there are three in Kolding: Borch's Gard on Akseltorv and Helligkorsgade 18 and 20. In 1704, shoemaker Jørgen Hansen bought the house and it was in the ownership of his family until 1915. It was then bought by a group of Kolding citizens, who wanted to ensure that it would be preserved for posterity. The house was later given to Kolding municipality, which used it as a tourist office for many years. Today, the building is used as an exhibition area for artists. In the gable facing the garden is a cannonball from the battle of Kolding on 23 April 1849.
