Rosala Viking Centre
The most important building in a Viking settlement - the Chieftain’s Hall - serves not only as the chieftain’s residence but also as a venue for formal gatherings, celebrations, and religious rituals. At the Viking Centre, you step back a thousand years in time to the end of the Iron Age in Finland, the mythical Viking Age.
The Viking Centre is located on the beautiful island of Rosala, which you can reach from Kasnäs by a free ferry, M/S Aurora. It is approximately a 5-kilometre drive to the Viking Centre from the island’s ferry landing Långnäs. Alternatively, you can arrive by taxi boat at the Rosala village harbour, located ca 200 metres from the Viking Centre.
Accommodation in the Viking village
The Chieftain's Hall features 13 upper alcoves and 13 lower alcoves, located behind the benches along the long sides of the main hall. The alcoves are separated by fabric curtains, and each one comfortably accommodates one person. Additionally, the Hall features two separate four-person rooms - Freke and Gere - as well as one two-person room, Björn. Next to the Chieftain’s Hall stands a small sleeping cabin with four beds, and space for two more people in its loft.
The Chieftain’s Hall, its rooms, and the cabin are well-suited for accommodation even during the winter.
In addition to the 36 beds in the Chieftain’s Hall and the six beds in the cabin Sten, a four-person Viking-style tent is available during the summer, bringing the total accommodation capacity of the Viking village to 46 people.

An evening sauna and breakfast are included in the price of your stay. We can accommodate most special dietary requirements for breakfast if we get the information well in advance. The food is low-lactose.
