Viking Ship Museum
Roskilde's Viking Ship Museum is home to five Viking ships
dating back to the 11th century. The ships were deliberately sunk
in the channel to prevent an attack on the city around the year
1070, and were excavated in 1962. They range from cargo ships to
war raiders, and are on display at the museum overlooking Roskilde
Fjord, along with weapons and other artefacts. Visitors can also
watch shipwrights at work and see examples of traditional Nordic
wooden boats. The museum has a gift shop and restaurant.
