Aggersborg

Aggersborg lies on the north bank of the Aggersund. Nearby stood the Viking Castle of Aggersborg, built about 1000 at the behest of the king. A circular wall 240m/790ft in diameter has survived; in each quarter of the circle there once stood 12 long-houses. For a time the castle was a royal court, but was destroyed by fire during a peasants' uprising in the 15th C. About 1860 Aggersborggård Mansion, a half-timbered building, was erected here.
