The burial ground of Lindholm Hoeje is located in the north of the island of Jutland in Denmark. With more than 700 graves, it is considered the largest burial ground of the Iron Age and Viking Age in Denmark. Lindholm Hoeje is particularly impressive because of the approx. 250 stone placements up to 10 metres long in the shape of Viking ships, which make this site an impressive testimony to that time.
