Ribe (German: Ripen) is the name of the oldest town of Denmark. It is also the name of the surrounding Municipality, and County, The town has many well-preserved old buildings, of which ca. 110 houses are under Heritage Protection. Denmark's oldest town hall is found on the town's Von Støckens Plads. The building was erected in 1496, and was purchased by the city for use as a town hall in 1709. When Ansgar the Archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen, set out on the "Mission to bring Christianity to the North", he made a request in 860 to the King of Denmark, that the first Scandinavian church be built in Ribe. This was not coincidental, since Ribe already at that point, was the most important trade city of Scandinavia. However we can only confirm the presence of a bishop and thus a cathedral in Ribe from the year 948.
