<h2 id="history">History</h2> <p>Skanderborg is an old town and the area have revealed traces of human settlements, dating from the earliest <a href="/facts/Nordic_Stone_Age/PLbMvKHr">Nordic Stone Age</a>. A seasonal camp from the <a href="/facts/Erteb%25C3%25B8lle_culture/Q6cjaRm4">Ertebølle culture</a>, was found here in the 1930s for example, near the former Ringkloster (English: <i>Ring Abbey</i>) on the southern brinks of Skanderborg Lake.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p><p>The town sprawled around the former Skanderborg Castle, founded at some point during the early <a href="/facts/Middle_Ages/RqzEKB9v">Middle Ages</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> and in 1583 Skanderborg was granted a <a href="/facts/Municipal_charter/R65lVlJV">municipal charter</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p> <h3>Religious orders</h3> <p>The town of Skanderborg has attracted several religious communities over the years, especially in the early <a href="/facts/Middle_Ages/RqzEKB9v">Middle Ages</a>. The long gone <a href="/facts/Ring_Abbey/IJpxzwWg">Ring Abbey</a> founded by <a href="/facts/Benedictine/wPDY4zrT">Benedictine</a> nuns in the 12th century, was once situated on the southeastern brinks of Skanderborg Lake. The last buildings burned down in 1715 and now there is a mansion at the site.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> There also used to be a <a href="/facts/Dominican_Order/n9l5y8Yk">Dominican</a> monastery on the small islet of Kalvø in the middle of the lake.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> The monastery was founded by the <a href="/facts/Black_friar/n9l5y8Yk">Black Friar</a> Order in the first half of the 12th century, along with a small harbour, but in 1168 there were only two monks left and the <a href="/facts/Cistercian_Order/dQPQRWTg">Cistercian Order</a> took over. The Cistercians came here after they had failed in founding a proper monastery at several nearby locations since 1165. In that year, they embarked on a mission from <a href="/facts/Vitsk%25C3%25B8l_Abbey/LddW2b9C">Vitskøl Abbey</a> in <a href="/facts/Himmerland/bF5Cheqo">Himmerland</a>, to found a daughter community in the <a href="/facts/Diocese_of_Aarhus/ca9oDLWQ">diocese of Aarhus</a> and tried at <a href="/facts/Sabro/haIN4WHJ">Sabro</a>, at Sminge near <a href="/facts/Silkeborg/bIANWesW">Silkeborg</a> (<a href="/facts/Sminge_Abbey/eqypj3zH">Sminge Abbey</a>), and then near the village of Veng (<a href="/facts/Veng_Abbey/eqypj3zH">Veng Abbey</a>). The Cistercians eventually felt too isolated on the small isle of Kalvø, often cut off from the mainland for days and weeks even when the weather was harsh, and after just four years, they gave up here, too, and moved to Rye between <a href="/facts/Moss%25C3%25B8/jusbjSAJ">Mossø</a> and Gudensø, a few kilometres west of Skanderborg. Here they founded <a href="/facts/%25C3%2598m_Abbey/UWmNu5YT">Øm Abbey</a> in 1172.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="buildings-and-structures">Buildings and structures</h2> <h3>Skanderborg Castle</h3> <p class="note">See also: <a href="/facts/Siege_of_Skanderborg/urPEq2Xt">Siege of Skanderborg</a></p> <p>The royal residence of Skanderborg Castle was arguably the most important and influential building in the history of Skanderborg, but it was demolished stone by stone during the 18th century. Founded at some point in the early Middle Ages around 1200, King <a href="/facts/Frederick_II_of_Denmark/nDgYHmz7">Frederik II</a> had the old medieval castle radically rebuilt and expanded around 1570. His project was grandiose in scale. An entirely new large <a href="/facts/Renaissance/4D9Bc6KU">Renaissance</a> palace was erected and the <a href="/facts/Deer_park_(England)/mwuCpU12">deer park</a> of Skanderbrog Dyrehave was constructed nearby, amongst other undertakings. Stones from the demolished <a href="/facts/%25C3%2598m_Abbey/UWmNu5YT">Øm Abbey</a> west of Skanderborg were used as construction materials. Many of the original structures survived the project and were incorporated into the new buildings, amongst these the old castle chapel. In the 12th-16th centuries, Skanderborg Castle functioned as the traditional hunting retreat of the Danish kings.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> </p> <h4>Demolition</h4> <p>In the years of 1717–22, King <a href="/facts/Frederik_IV/XsBA8tKh">Frederik IV</a> began demolishing the old original medieval structures and replaced the former fortifications with <a href="/facts/Terrace_garden/7vnrhsfv">terraced gardens</a>. Only the bell tower of the still existing castle church remained. In turn however, Skanderborg Castle saw a decline in popularity and attention by the royal family, and in 1767, the castle with associated gardens was sold at auction. <a href="/facts/Commoner/fflFNBwD">Commoner</a> Hans Lauritzen bought the royal property for the sum of 3004 <a href="/facts/Danish_rigsdaler/tmPh8s6N">Rigsdaler</a>, while the castle church with furnishings and bells was granted to the town of Skanderborg. In April 1768, the demolishing of Skanderborg Castle began and nothing remains of it today, except the old castle church.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a> </p> <h3>Present buildings and structures</h3> <p>The town of Skanderborg has a total of three churches, and Skanderborg Castle Church used to be part of the former Skanderborg Castle. </p><p>The cultural centre of Kulturhuset, located in Byparken (the city park) in the center of Skanderborg, was designed by native architectural firm <a href="/facts/Kj%25C3%25A6r_%2526_Richter/GzFHcxja">Kjær & Richter</a> and built in 1998.
