Bornholm Medieval Centre
Bornholms Middelaldercenter
A living history museum beside Østerlars Church, where staff in period costume demonstrate blacksmithing, baking and knightly tournaments.
The Medieval Centre is a living history museum that recreates farm life on Bornholm around 1350. The grounds include a stone-and-timber castle, farmhouses, a blacksmith's forge, a water mill and a market. Staff in medieval dress demonstrate blacksmithing, archery, cooking and handicrafts. In summer there are knights' tournaments and catapult shows, and children can take part. Admission is about 150 DKK, and it is open daily in summer. It is about 1 km from Østerlars Round Church, so the two can be visited together.
Opening hours
Approx. May–October 10:00–16:00 (extended in summer)
