 Fyrkat might be the oldest of Denmark's former Viking ring castles. It is located near the town of Hobro some distance from the end of the Mariager Fjord in North Jutland. It is built on a narrow piece of land with a river on one side and swampy area on the others. It could have controlled the traffic on the main land route between Alborg and Aarhus.

 Territory around three squares - Store Torv, Bispetorv and Sct. Clements Torv – always was the heart of Aarhus. Vikings founded Aarhus approx. in 770. It is possible however, that it could happen earlier, in this case Aarhus would pretend to be the oldest town in Denmark. This status belongs at the moment to Ribe, where the most known old building bears date nearly 740. |

 Раскопки последних лет принесли новые обильные данные о возникновении городов и оборонительных сооружений в Датском государстве. Ранние города этой эпохи, как выяснилось, были укреплены оборонительными валами, в разных областях Дании появились круглые крепости правильной и точно рассчитанной формы.
Ранние города - новое явление, характерное для эпохи викингов. Однако их зарождение относится к предшествующим столетиям, когда появляются первые поселения, вроде Дренгстеда (между Рибе и Тендерном) и Данкирке (близ Рибе), с торгово-ремесленными функциями, отличающими их от обычных сельских поселений.
