Roskilde Cathedral – UNESCO World Heritage

Join us on a royal journey through time in Roskilde Cathedral

The history of the monarchy is a gold mine of dramatic Danish history, of bloody battles, epidemics, high treason, jealousy drama and conspiracies, but also love. Meet 40 kings and queens in Denmark's royal burial church, hear the dragon screech, dive into dark crypts and find peace under the high vaults. The cathedral's architecture is a time travel through 800 years, and that has put it on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Chalk paintings, royal tombs, art and architecture tell the history of the kings, the church and Denmark.

See a model of the tombstone in which Queen Margrethe II will be buried. The tombstone was designed by the renowned Danish artist Bjørn Nørgaard and is exhibited in Sankt Birgitte's Chapel.

Groups can book a guided tour of Roskilde Cathedral all year round.
