Danish Medival Castles is the first comprehensive overview in English of the castles and fortifications, known from medieval Denmark. The book tells the story of who built the castles, when they did it, and why it happened. Over the past decades, several locations have been examined, a few new sites have been found, and old excavations have been reopened, all of this resulting in new knowledge. The book also tells the story about everyday life in the Medieval Danish castles, and about the importance of the castles in the turbulent Danish Medieval history.
