castle, place with historical importance, viking remnants
This viking fortress was built around 980 AD. The purpose is debated, but probably the fortress was used by King Harald "Bluetooth", along with its sister fortresses, as a means to solidify his position within the country.
The other fortresses are Aggersborg, Fyrkat, Nonnebakken, Borrering, and finally the "other" Trelleborg in what is now Sweden.
