About
King Erik Menved's Castle
In a quiet corner of Bygholm Park, a very popular park in Horsens, you come across the hill called Slangebjerg. On this very ground, in the turbulent year of 1313, King Erik Menved built a castle to defend himself against rebellious, Jutlandic farmers. Today, remnants of the building foundations and moats can be seen by the public on Slangebjerg.
