History
In the time of the Viking Age and early Middle Ages there was a castle in Viby.
In early July 1961, Århus Stiftstidende could announce that:
- 100 acres (40 ha) of land were to be designated for industry;
- 1800 new flats were to be built;
- The centre would be freshened up to include a 10 storeys tall hotel, and a shopping centre;
- Two new schools and a church would be constructed;
- Road expansions would be made.
The expansions were intended to increase the population from the (at that time) current 16,000 to 50,000.
In 1970, the new shopping centre was taken into use. It had ended up costing about £4 million, instead of the originally estimated £1.85 million.
