The golden horns were made in the Iron Age - even though they are made of gold. We don't know what they were used for, but archaeologists believe the horns had something to do with Iron Age religion.
On the horns one can see strange figures. Some are half animal and half human.
At one point in the Iron Age, the horns were dug into the ground. Some believe it was a gift to the gods.
One horn was found in 1639 by a girl. Her name was Kirsten, and she received a skirt from the king as a thank you for the historic find. It was the king who owned all the gold that was found in the ground at that time.
The king later used the horn to drink at the big parties at the castle. It helped to show how much power he had.
In 1734 Erik, a poor farmer, found the second golden horn. Both horns came to the king's own museum. Here they were stolen by a goldsmith in 1802. He melted the precious gold horns into jewellery. Today, therefore, only copies of the golden horns exist.
A set is on display at the Tønder Museum.
