Beskrivelse
Aggersborg stands as the largest circular fortress from Denmark's Viking Age, built by King Harald Bluetooth in the late tenth century. Positioned strategically along the Limfjord, it was part of a network of fortifications aimed at influencing northern European politics.
A detailed exploration of Aggersborg’s archaeological significance and its role in Viking Age Denmark.
The fortress was constructed over a vast Viking-Age rural settlement, which was destroyed during its building. Thanks to well-preserved remains of structures and numerous artefacts uncovered here, we gain a rare insight into the settlement’s physical layout, social organization, and material culture.
This book offers an in-depth report on the extensive excavations carried out by the National Museum of Denmark, covering both the fortress and the underlying settlement. It places the findings within the broader Viking Age context and provides fresh perspectives on Denmark’s history during a period marked by significant cultural and political shifts.
