The Medieval Centre of Bornholm<br />
- exploring and experiencing history<br />
Regardless of whether the sun is shining in a clear blue sky or<br />
it is raining cats and dogs, the Medieval Centre of Bornholm<br />
is brimming with experiences. Here, you can immerse yourself in<br />
everyday life as it was lived in Denmark around 1300–1450, and<br />
let yourself be carried away by the atmosphere of a living medieval<br />
milieu. Experience people, animal and rural dwellings; relax next<br />
to the small Bornholm “splasher” (watermill) picturesquely situated<br />
next to Spager stream; go for a run around the palisades encircling<br />
-<br />
<br />
island.<br />
You can also get a hands-on experience of the Middle Ages in our<br />
various activity areas – where, together with our personal information<br />
staff, you can explore old crafts and games.<br />
If you prefer tranquillity and absorption, there is an interesting<br />
exhibition about the Middle Age’s fascinating frescoes in our modern<br />
exhibition facilities and cinema, or you can enjoy looking at our new<br />
frescoes on display in the banqueting hall of the nobleman’s farmhouse.<br />

Hammershus Ruin<br />
and the Hammershus Exhibition<br />
- experiences and activities<br />
Hammershus is one of the largest castle ruins in Northern Eu-<br />
<br />
a bloody, dramatic era of Bornholm’s history. Hammershus was built<br />
by the archbishopric of Lund (now Sweden) which ruled the castle<br />
for more then 200 years. After this, the castle was ruled by the King<br />
<br />
the city state of Lübeck from 1525 to 1575. Sweden controlled the<br />
castle for one year (1658) until a local uprising returned the island to<br />
Denmark. Come and experience the unique atmosphere at the castle<br />
<br />
The Hammershus Exhibition is located below the actual ruins. The<br />
Hammershus Exhibition depicts the castle in its heyday (c. 1575) and<br />
documents life at the castle, housekeeping activities, leisure activities,<br />
knights, sentencing and punishment, building techniques and materi-<br />
<br />
castle, as well as replicas of clothing, weapons, tools, etc.
