859 years from 1167 CE to 2026 · Traditional castle milestone. This is a reference milestone, not the first human presence.

Copenhagen's history is often linked to Bishop Absalon's castle of 1167. A harbor settlement existed before the castle. The date is a conventional city reference rather than the beginning of habitation.
