Our neighborhood

A few blocks from our house is this sign about the history of our neighborhood.
In the lower right is a bit in English.  Using Google Translate I figured out the captions.  Starting on the left is a fresco from a church with styltetårn (tower on stilts) from circa 1200.  The center caption is about the reconstruction of Harold Borg, as it would have looked like in the 1100s.  The artifacts are the items from Harald Borg cache found in the Harald Borg mounds in 1890.  Apparently our neighborhood was a violent place in the early Middle Ages, but it seems tranquil now.
