Fyrkat is thought to be the oldest of the Viking ring fortresses, and one of five to be on the UNESCO World Heritage List. While the wooden structures are long gone, the 120 meter diameter earth ramparts are still very much visible. A short walk away, the museum has reconstructed a viking village with 9 reconstructed farmhouses.
Fyrkat is a former Viking ring castle in Denmark, dating from c. 980 AD. It is located near the town of Hobro, some distance from the present end of the Mariager Fjord in Northern Jutland. The fortress is built on a narrow piece of land, with a stream on one side and a swampy area on the other side.
