What is the Jelling Project?

The Jelling Project is a research and publicity project, which has the unique monuments at Jelling as its starting point.

 


At Jelling in one place is a complex, with individual parts which mark both the transition from paganism to Christianity and the establishment of Danish royal power in the Viking Age.

Soil chemistry in Jelling

The 4 Viking houses from excavations in Jelling in 2010-11 revealed few but clear traces of human activity, in contrast to the image we know from contemporary cities.

The Jelling Project is supported by Bikubenfonden
