Description
A collection of 6 shots of the reconstruction of a viking settlement near Schleswig, Germany. The place was called Haithabu (now Haddeby).From Wikipedia:
"Hedeby (Haithabu) was an important settlement in Viking Denmark, flourishing from the 8th to 11th centuries ...
Hedeby was the largest Nordic city during the Viking Age and used to be the oldest city in Denmark. Denmark lost the territory on which Hedeby was located to Austria and Prussia in 1864 in the Second Schleswig War. As a result of these border movements, the site is now located in the province of Schleswig-Holstein in the extreme north of Germany. The name 'Hedeby' means the "town on the heath". Abandoned almost a thousand years ago, Hedeby is now by far the most important archaeological site in Schleswig-Holstein. A museum was opened next to the site in 1985."
