Viking grave from the 10th century. It is believed that Gorm the Old, Denmark's first king, and his wife Thyra Danebod were buried here. Gorm was reburied on behalf of his son Harald I "Bluetooth" Gormsson (Harald Blåtand) after his conversion to Christianity in the church between the south and north hill. The burial mound is 10 m high and has a diameter of 70 m.
