About
Kongernes Jelling – home of the Viking kings
The runes tell us that it was in the Viking Age in Jelling that Denmark got its name. King Gorm wrote it on his runestone, and we have used it ever since. It was also here that King Harald Bluetooth, on his large runestone, proclaimed that he made the Danes Christian. With Gorm the Old, Queen Thyrvé, and Harald Bluetooth, the roots of the Danish monarchy are firmly planted between the runestones and mounds in Jelling. Experience the Viking Age at the experience center Kongernes Jelling.
