Riberhus Castle was located on the castle rampart in Ribe. Today only ruins remain, as well as a bronze statue of Queen Dagmar, who lived at the castle in the early 13th century. The castle was not the first building on the site. Archaeological excavations show that people lived in the area as early as the 12th century.
