Gyldenhul Barrow is an ancient Nordic Tomb in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn.
Interior
The main door to Gyldenhul Barrow is locked and can be opened if one is able to pick the Master-level lock. Another way to opening the door is finding an key found in the last ancient chest that is opened during the quest "Deathbrand". Upon entering, the corpse of an adventurer can be found. A note on his corpse tells of his fate. Two sarcophagi containing Stalhrim can be found on either side of him, both of which can be mined. The sarcophagus on the left contains a Draugr corpse with some minor loot. There is also a Draugr directly ahead as one first enters that has some 
.
To proceed any further, an Ancient Nordic Pickaxe is required to mine through the sarcophagus to the west to reveal a secret passage to a lower chamber. The passage turns south and leads to a locked iron door that can be opened with the same key found in the aforementioned chest. This area is a treasure trove, containing many piles of coins, assorted gems, potions, and weapons. As soon as an item is picked up, the gate behind will close. Another iron door on the south end of the room leads to a large burial chamber.
