Aggersborg, Viking ring fortress at Limfjord, Denmark
The circular fortress extends over 240 meters in diameter with four gates oriented according to cardinal directions and intersecting streets in the center.
Constructed around 980 CE during Harald Bluetooth's reign, Aggersborg controlled maritime traffic and trade routes through the strategic Limfjord passage.
Archaeological excavations at Aggersborg revealed 30,000 artifacts, including pottery, tools, and imported goods, showing the extent of Viking trade networks.
The reconstructed site features information panels and parking facilities, allowing visitors to explore the archaeological remains throughout the year.
The fortress contained 48 longhouses within its ramparts, requiring 66 large oak trees for each structure, making it twice the size of other Danish ring fortresses.
