Questions about this page

How many archaeological & historic sites are there in Denmark?

95 on this map, out of 14,002 worldwide. That is what Wikidata records for Denmark with coordinates, a photograph and a Wikipedia article — the real number on the ground is larger, and for some countries much larger.

What is the best known of the archaeological & historic sites in Denmark?

Lindholm Høje. Iron- and viking age grave yard in Denmark.

Which is the oldest?

Troldborg Ring, dated to 100. 17 of these 95 carry a founding date, 2 of them from before the year 1000.

Where does this information come from?

Every place is drawn from Wikidata (CC0), with photographs from Wikimedia Commons and a link to its English Wikipedia article. Selection is deterministic: a place is here because Wikidata files it under one of the classes this atlas carries and it has coordinates, a photo and an article. Nothing is written or chosen by an AI, and the ranking is simply how many Wikipedia language editions cover a place.
