Currently being rebuilt - currently looked closed (as of May/2025).

Since the museum is currently being rebuilt on the other side of the street, I doubt that the cannons will also be relocated - as of May 2025, they are no longer here.

A section of the 26-kilometer-long Danevirke, known locally as the Margarethenwall, runs through the municipality of Ellingstedt. The Danevirke is the largest fortification of the Viking Age and at the same time the largest fortification and the largest archaeological monument in Northern Europe.

The Waldemarsmauer represents the most significant expansion phase of the Danevirke. In the 2nd half of the 12th century AD, the Danish King Waldemar I (*1131 – †1182) had the main rampart of the Danevirke reinforced with a brick wall. These were a novelty as a building material in Northern Europe. Waldemar wanted to protect the Danish realm from raids by the Slavs and Saxons and at the same time demonstrate foreign policy strength. The wall represents the largest and oldest secular building made of bricks in Northern Europe and can today be visited as a ruin 80 meters long.

Here the blades of grass grow in nature, about 40 cm high 😀. In spring, the reconstructed fortification, Schanze 14, certainly looks more impressive.

The Danewerk Museum is currently housed in containers, but the sanitary facilities were very good. If you fancy playing mini golf with the Vikings, this is also the place for you.

The new museum building is scheduled to be completed in 2026. Until then, some exhibits are displayed in containers. There isn't much to see, but the information boards are interesting. It only costs 2 euros per adult. Behind the containers is - how exotic - a very pretty mini-golf course.
