Farm and burial site in Uppsala, Sweden
Valsgärde or Vallsgärde is a farm on the Fyris river, about three kilometres north of Gamla Uppsala, the ancient centre of the Swedish kings and of the pagan faith in Sweden. The present farm dates from the 16th century. The farm's notability derives from the presence of a burial site, which was used for more than 300 years during the Swedish Vendel Age and the Viking Age. The first ship burial is from the 6th century and the last graves are from the 11th century.
