Jungshoved Voldsted, Medieval hillfort in Vordingborg Municipality, Denmark

The archaeological site features a rounded triangular earthen mound encircled by defensive ditches, with additional fortified embankments along its eastern perimeter.

Records first mention Jungshoved in Valdemar Sejr's land register from 1231, maintaining royal ownership until 1665 when Count Christoffer Parsberg acquired it.

Archaeological excavations at Jungshoved revealed medieval coin hoards dating between 1300 and 1399, indicating substantial economic activities and trade connections.

The site sits approximately 100 kilometers from Copenhagen Airport, with the Jungshoved Kro bed and breakfast located 2 kilometers from the archaeological grounds.

During the Karl Gustav Wars, Swedish colonel Magnus de la Gardie used Jungshoved as a refuge, taking numerous books from lensmand Jørgen Reedtz's library.
