Skedemosse Museum
By far the most famous find from Skedemosse are the gold rings. The so-called Skedemosse gold consists of seven necklaces of pure gold with a total weight of 1,3 kg - an unimaginable wealth at the time.
Around Christ's grace, Skedemosse was one of southern Sweden's most important sacrifice places. Large amounts of animals, weapons, gold and even people were sacrificed here - all to appease or thank the gods.
At Skedemosse Museum you get to experience the exciting history surrounding the sacrificial bog, and about what life could have looked like on Iron Age Öland. There are also exhibitions about Vikings and the Hildebrand Farms on Öland. Adjacent to the museum is a 5 km hiking trail that leads to the old excavation site.
Guided tours of the excavation site can be arranged on request. Please get in touch and we will help you arrange an exciting and interesting day at Skedemosse Gård!
