The Vikings established several fortresses, with notable examples including Trelleborg in Denmark and Borg in Norway. Trelleborg, built around 980 AD, features a circular design typical of Viking fortifications, while Borg served as a significant military and trading hub. Other sites like Aros (modern Aarhus) and the fortresses in England, such as York, also played crucial roles in Viking defense and settlement. These structures reflected the Vikings' strategic military capabilities and their need for protection against rival groups.
