Visitors inside the Viking Chieftain’s longhouse, the largest Viking house ever discovered! It is 83 metres long and metres wide in the grounds of the Viking Living Museum in Borge, a hamlet approximately 15-20 minutes drive from the nearest small town of Leknes in northern Norway, Scandinavia. The Lofoten is an archipelago of seven islands connected by the 110-mile-long E10 highway that stretches out into the North Atlantic Ocean above the Arctic Circle on the west coast. The region is known for its dramatic and picturesque scenery, very popular with tourism for its high peaks, fjords and numerous small fishing villages with dark red painted wooden buildings with white windows and door frames. Some have grass roofs.
