==History== {{section-stub|date=June 2022}} Slagelse has been inhabited since at least the Viking Age, where it was a [[Paganism|Pagan]] site. [[Trelleborg (Slagelse)|Trelleborg]], a [[ring castle]], was built near the current location of Slagelse in 980, which made the location strategically important. A church was built at Slagelse's current location in the 1000s. Around this time, coins were minted in Slagelse.<ref>[https://www.slagelse.info/historisk/historien-om-slagelse-korsoer-og-skaelskoer/#gsc.tab=0 Slagelse.info] "Historien om Slagelse, Korsør og Skælskør" Retrieved 26 August 2020</ref> [[Antvorskov]] was built in the 1100s by [[Valdemar I of Denmark|Valdemar I]], who had recently acquired Zealand. He built the monastery in an attempt to gain control and favor with the locals. The monastery was used by the [[Knights Hospitaller]]. <ref>[https://www.slagelse.info/historisk/antvorskov-og-historiens-luner-del-1/#gsc.tab=0 Slagelse.info] "Antvorskov og historiens luner (del 1)" Retrieved 26 August 2020</ref> Slagelse was granted the status of a [[market town]] in 1288 by [[Eric V of Denmark|Eric V]]. This gave the town a series of privileges, though eventually put it in competition with the neighboring market towns of Korsør and Skælskør. In the 1780s a road from [[Copenhagen]] to Korsør was built, and this road ran through Slagelse.<ref>[https://danmarkshistorien.dk/leksikon-og-kilder/vis/materiale/slagelse/ Danmarkshistorien.dk] "Slagelse" Retrieved 26 August 2020</ref>
