Haithabu Viking living

This is a very special post. Today I am going to show truly European interiors - like it existed 1100 years ago. Yes, that´s right. Haithabu was the largest and most important commercial center in Northern Europe between 900 and 1100. Today this viking settlement it is an outdoor museum located in Northern Germany near the Danish border.
