Ribe Viking Centre tries to reconstruct the city of Ribe's oldest history of buildings and the like from the city's oldest three-four first centuries. In the 1300 years old city came during the Viking Age many seasonal craftsmen and merchants from nearby and distant, when it was common to live in tents, although solid buildings also existed. However, there was a fixed place of tent city grew each year. During the late Viking Age, the city became increasingly built permanent and Medieval Ribe occurred.

The Dynna stone from Gran in Hadeland, Norway, raised during the first half of the eleventh century. The text along the narrow side on the right relates that this is a memorial that one mother set up after her daughter : “Gunnvǫr, Þryðríkr's daughter, made a bridge in memory of her daughter Ástríðr. She was the handiest maid in Hadeland”. The stone sheds light on the process of Christianisation – a message communicated by text and images. The pictures on the front side depict scenes from the birth of Christ. The top is damaged, and its surface has various small holes and marks. Someone has even carved their initials and the year 1875 inside one of the pictorial motifs on the front.
