Aldeigjuborg: The Lost Viking City near Europe's Largest Lake

February 1, 2024

Welcome to this exploration into the intriguing history of Aldeigjuborg, a significant settlement nestled between the Republic of Karelia and Leningrad Oblast.

Our focus will be on the vast Lake Ladoga, which holds the title of being the largest lake on the European continent. While it goes by the name Lake Ladoga today, the Germans once referred to it as "Aldoga," and the Vikings knew it as Aldeigja.

Join us as we uncover the rich historical tapestry of this region, particularly delving into its role as a thriving trade and crafts settlement during the illustrious Viking Age. Together, we'll navigate the waters of time to unravel the tales woven into the fabric of Aldeigjuborg and the shores of Lake Ladoga.
