Oseberghauen – Royal Mound, Tønsberg

Norway Attractions and Hotels

One of the most impressive and valuable mounds in all Norway is Oseberghauen, which is located near Tønsberg. Why? Simply because the mound is the grave of a queen, Queen Alvhild, that died in the 9th century AD. But even more, the mound itself presents valuable representations of the burial traditions: a carved bed with animal patterns, tools, sledges and other artistic elements, all in an actual ship, which is very representative and, at the same time, very impressive for the Viking culture at that time.
