Located near Køge in eastern Denmark, the newly opened Borgring Museum invites visitors to explore one of the most transformative chapters in Danish history: the shift from heathen belief to Christianity. As one of the five ringfortresses commissioned by King Harald Bluetooth in the late 10th century, Borgring represents a bold statement of royal authority and religious change. These fortresses were constructed as part of Harald’s broader vision to unify Denmark under a Christian banner, serving both as military strongholds and symbols of a new national identity.
The museum brings this story to life through immersive exhibitions and interactive displays that place visitors at the crossroads of myth and monarchy, offering not just a glimpse into the past but an encounter with the forces that shaped the Danish kingdom as we know it today.
