The village Nykøbing, south of Copenhagen, celebrated its 700th anniversary in 1989. At the sea passage between the islands Lolland and Falster, just outside the city, a medieval trebuchet was constructed. This was a great success – the local museum must have been very happy with 15,000 visitors in just 3 weeks time. Two years later, another similar event also attracted many tourists – a good sign that an archaeological open-air museum would be on its place here.
