History

Gislinge has a rich tapestry of history dating back to the early Middle Ages. Originally a small fishing settlement on the shores of Lake Tissø, Gislinge’s strategic location made it a hub for trade along inland waterways. During the Viking Age, Tissø was one of Denmark’s most significant religious and commercial centers, with evidence of a royal estate and trading post where traders exchanged amber, furs, and iron goods. Archaeological digs have uncovered rune stones, burial grounds, and remnants of timber longhouses, illuminating the village’s reputation as a vital stop for Norse merchants navigating the fjords.
