Slagelse - Trelleborg

7 km/5 mi west of Slagelse lies the interesting reconstruction based on the finds from the excavated Viking settlement of Trelleborg, dating from the years 1000-1050. It consists of a circular rampart together with wooden stakes inserted into the ground, with four entrances. From there four streets, which divide the area into four quadrants, lead to the center; within the ramparts were 16 houses each 29.5m/97ft long with gently rounded walls, four houses being laid out in each quadrant.
