Research center and excursion destination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lejre Land of Legends was founded in 1964 to create new knowledge about the past through experimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, Lejre Land of Legends is an atmospheric and exciting excursion destination for the whole family. Here you’ll find houses and environments from the Stone Age, Iron Age, Viking Age and the 1800s, as well as working workshops and old livestock breeds. All this in 43 hectares of unique nature with hills, forests, lakes and meadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of Sagnlandet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The meeting between research and the public is central to the work of Lejre Land of Legends and is enshrined in Article 2 of the statutes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of Lejre Land of Legends is to operate a research center for conducting ethnological, historical and archaeological experiments, carrying out related research tasks and to disseminate the results through scientific channels and through active communication and teaching.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qualified fulfillment of the purpose is ensured through Lejre Land of Legends’ management and employment of professionally trained staff in academic, technical and craft subjects such as archaeology, history, communication, didactics, pedagogy, landscaping, textile crafts, pottery, forging and film\/photo. Hiring a broadly composed instructor corps of students and pupils within the same disciplines ensures a good and inspiring contact with the teaching and education sector and the thoughts and ideas that are stirring there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The director reports to a competent board of researchers, politicians and business people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To maintain focus in our daily work, we have translated Lejre Land of Legends’ mission statement into more inspiring definitions and formulations expressed in our mission, vision and core values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
