Bornholms Middelaldercenter (Bornholm's Medieval Centre) is a family attraction near Østerlars in northeastern Bornholm, Denmark.[1]
Layout
On 14 hectares (35 acres) of land just to the north of the village of Østerlars, the centre offers impressions of the Middle Ages, presenting daily life in a rural environment from around 1350 to 1450. It includes a watermill for producing flour, a forge, an archery range and old cottages. There is also a large fortress with battlements, towers and a chapel.[1] Visitors can experience craftsmen at work and can participate in activities. During the annual medieval week, there are special events including jousting, battles and falconry.[2]
The centre is open on Monday to Friday from May to September. In July it is also open on Saturday.[3]
