Riberhus, Medieval castle ruins and green space in Ribe, Denmark.

The Riberhus site features an eight-meter-tall embankment encircled by moats, providing visitors with views of the medieval castle foundations.

Built in the early 1200s, Riberhus Castle served as a royal stronghold and tax collection center until Swedish forces destroyed it in 1658.

A bronze statue of Queen Dagmar, created by Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen in 1913, stands at the southern corner of the castle bank.

The restored castle grounds remain open throughout the year, allowing visitors to explore the archaeological remains and walk through the surrounding park.

Archaeological excavations revealed that the castle area was inhabited as early as the 10th century, predating the construction of Riberhus itself.
