Traces of people, power and life through the ages
Bornholm bears traces of people who have lived on the island for thousands of years. Across the landscape, you’ll find rock carvings, runestones and standing stones, while castle ruins tell stories of a later period shaped by power, defence and the struggle for Bornholm’s strategic position in the Baltic Sea.
Some traces are easy to spot, while others require a little more searching. What they all have in common is that they bring Bornholm’s history to life – from ancient symbols carved into the rock to medieval castles and the impressive ruins of Hammershus.
