The Battle of Grolle is a three-day event where visitors go back in time to the year 1627. In the summer of that year, the State army led by Prince Frederik Hendrik arrives for 'the starcke city of Groll'. It is an event that briefly, but very emphatically, places the city at the center of national history. That is why this event is redesigned every two years.

Ulvsborg Historisk Værksted (DK)

Yes

Ulvsborg Historisk Værksted (historic workshop) is an initiative of an association. After picking up a lot of experience at places like Düppel (DE), Ukranenland (DE), Gross Raden (DE), Lejre (DK) and Trelleborg (DK), at the end of the 1990s, the idea was taken up to construct a fortified farm like important farmers would have had in the period 1050-1250 AD, which in Denmark is referred to as Late Viking Age or Early Middle Ages.

Ulvsborg is situated in Denmark, in the western part of Sealand near Asnæs in 24 acres of varied nature. It shows a fortified farm like important farmers would have had in the period 1050-1250 AD. This period in Danish history is known for its many wars and crusades, both far from home as nearby in Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
