Reconstruction of Tjodhilde's Church in Brattahlíð, Greenland
Title
Reconstruction of Tjodhilde's Church in Brattahlíð, Greenland
Subject
Church - Viking Age
Description
Tjodhild came to Greenland with her husband Erik the Red, founder of the first settlement in Greenland at Brattahlíð. The small church (or chapel) at Brattahlíð (Þjóðhildarkirkja) was named after her, and is probably the first church in North America. This reconstructed church, along with a replica of a Viking Longhouse, stands near to the original site in what is now Qassiarsuk. For more information, see http://www.greenland.com/en/
