Lejre Land of Legends was formerly known as Centre for Historical-Archaeological Research and Communication (Historisk-arkæologisk Forsøgscenter).

The site comprises reconstructions of an Iron Age village and sacrificial bog (200 BC to 200 AD), a Viking market place (900 AD), a Stone Age campsite (5000 BC), an 18th-century farmstead and various grave monuments.

[2] Many archaeologists from all over the world come to Lejre to perform their experiments, dealing with a broad variety of subjects and artifacts.

Lejre has also supported the experimental work of Errett Callahan (1937–2019) who was one of the world's most recognised flintknappers.

They dress in period costume and take on the role of peopling the reconstructed areas, while trying to live using the techniques of the past.
