For more than 600 years – up until around the year 1000 AD – people were buried at Lindholm Høje. At each of the around 700 cremation graves from the Iron and Viking Ages, the dead body was burnt on location, and the graves were marked by stone circles. These stone circles are still visible in the landscape in one of Denmark’s best preserved ancient monuments. The story about the people who lived and died here is told inside the museum, which also houses an exhibition about ancient times in the Limfjorden area.

The museum has a well-stocked shop and a café with lunch dishes, cakes and snacks.
