Korstogsbyen Kalundborg

Storytelling for all ages on esbern snare and kalundborg in the middle ages.

With the app Korstogsbyen Kalundborg you can dive in six different places in Kalundborg's Old Town, Højbyen, dive into the stories of Kalundborg as an exit for the Crusades against the Baltic Sea in the period 1150 to 1250. As well as the Johanniter priest who walked around the streets and preached crusade and eternal salvation. The app contains 3 different Danish routes and 2 different English routes. The Esbern Snare route is an information route with places, year and people from Esbern Snare Liv. The crusade priest talks about both taking a crusade and about the moral concepts of the medieval moral concepts and asking the contemporary man (the player of the route) a number of quirky questions about morality and ethics. The third route is about Esbern Snare's daughter Ingeborg, who was displaced from the city in 1262, and the set of the player on a treasure hunt for information about Ingeborg's disappearance and a secret she wore. This route is fun for both children and adults. The two English routes are translations of the Esbern Snare route and the crusade priest's route. Once the app is downloaded, select the desired route and a card with recorded records appear on the screen. Esbern Snare route and the crusade priest's route are connected to the signs so that a QR code is scanned and provides access to the information on the selected route. All items can also be activated with GPS.

Korstogsbyen Kalundborg has been realized with the support of Development North West Zealand, the European Fund for Rural Development and the Ministry of City, Housing and Rural Affairs. The app is owned by the Kalundborg Museum - part of Museum West Zealand.
