Editing Jelling (section)

==Town centre ==
[[Vejle municipality]] has executed a reconstruction project in the village centre. The main road, Gormsgade, was closed and a new bypass constructed, leaving space for the monument area of Jelling.<ref>http://www.jelling.dk/page36680.aspx{{Dead link|date=February 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

The plan was estimated to cost in the neighbourhood of 250 million DKK (33,5 million €) which included financing allocated by [[The State of Denmark]], [[Vejle municipality]], [[Haderslev Diocese]] and other private foundations, among them "AP Møller and Chastine Mc-Kinney Møller Foundation for General Purposes" – which has donated 70 million DKK (10 million €) for the project.

A new culture house and city square was built as additions to the modern village life, while houses were demolished elsewhere to make space for the monument area. Some houses of historical value were preserved in the museum of [[Den Gamle By]] in [[Aarhus]].
