Skive - Spøttrup Castle 
In the west of the Salling Peninsula, north of Skive, stands Spøttrup Castle, one of the best examples of medieval fortress architecture in Denmark. It was built in the 15th century for the Bishops of Viborg and is surrounded by a double moat with a dividing rampart. For a long time it was considered impregnable. After threatening to collapse in the 18th century it was purchased by the state in 1840 and restored.
