In 1995 the famous Roskilde Cathedral was
added to UNESCO's list of the world's most
precious cultural assets. It is one of the earliest
examples of French-inspired, Gothic brick
architecture. The church can be dated back to
around 1080, and even back to around 985,
when Harold Bluetooth was "buried in the town
of Roskilde, in the church that he himself had
built in honour of the Holy Trinity". No trace of
Harold's church has ever been found. Roskilde
Cathedral is where the Danish royal family
buries its dead - though it is only since the
Reformation in 1536 that all the kings have
found their final resting place here. But the
Cathedral also contains several important
medieval royal graves, among these Danish
Queen Margrete 1 (1553-1442), daughter of
Valdemar Atterdag.
