Nobody knows. It has traditionally been said that it was founded by the bishop Absalon in 1167, but that is wrong. He build a fortress/castle and seriously beefed up the fortifications, but the town had been there long before he was even born.

Recent excavations in connection with metro construction have revealed houses, wells and modest ramparts from the early 11th century, and due to the area involved they do probably not represent the very beginning of the settlement.
