Hald Ruin, Medieval castle ruin in Viborg Municipality, Denmark.
The remaining stone walls of Hald Castle stand on elevated ground, providing views over Lake Hald through its weathered tower structure.
Built in 1528 by Bishop Jørgen Friis, the castle served as a fortified manor house during Denmark's medieval period of regional power struggles.
The ruins contain approximately 2000 submarine posts arranged in circles, indicating the presence of earlier structures from different periods of Danish architecture.
The site remains open throughout the year without entrance fees, featuring walking paths that connect visitors to different sections of the medieval remains.
Archaeological findings at Hald Ruin reveal five successive castles built on the same location, each representing different periods of Danish defensive architecture.
