Historic surroundings and green breaks in Viborg

In the middle of Viborg lies Borgvold - a historic fortress rampart transformed into a peaceful park. Here you will encounter lush planting, winding paths, a playground, a lake and a unique Bible garden with symbolism and flowers from both the Old and New Testaments.

From fortress to park

Borgvold was built in the mid-1800th century on the remains of the city's old defenses. The park has since been a green haven for both city residents and visitors. Here you can walk along the moat, enjoy the view of old trees and follow the paths that wind through the English-inspired park.

The Bible Garden - a special experience

The garden is divided into thematic beds and contains over 100 different species. The plants are labeled with names and Bible quotes, which makes it possible to explore both nature and Christian cultural heritage.
