Antvorskov, Medieval monastery ruins in Slagelse, Denmark.
Stone foundations and remnants form a four-winged structure, where the southern section contained the fifth largest church in medieval Denmark.
King Valdemar I established Antvorskov in 1164 as the main Scandinavian monastery for the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem.
The monastery transformed into a royal castle in 1580, where King Frederik II resided until his death in 1588.
The archaeological site opens to visitors as a public ruin park, displaying medieval architecture through preserved foundation walls.
Archaeological excavations revealed early hospital buildings with advanced heating systems and bathrooms from the medieval period.
