Vikingeborgen Trelleborg, Viking ring fortress in Slagelse Municipality, Denmark.

The fortress features a circular design with earthworks and remnants of timber buildings arranged in geometric patterns according to cardinal directions.

Built around 980 CE during King Harald Bluetooth's reign, Trelleborg served as a military stronghold and administrative center in medieval Denmark.

The annual Viking Festival brings together 1,200 re-enactors who demonstrate combat techniques, traditional crafts, and daily life from the Viking period.

The museum displays numerous artifacts including the only preserved Viking shield found in Denmark, while the outdoor areas remain accessible year-round.

The site contains 31 reconstructed houses within its walls and represents one of five confirmed ring fortresses from the Viking Age in Denmark.
