The story
What you'll find here
Nearly forty Danish kings and queens rest beneath the twin spires of Roskilde Cathedral, making it the royal burial church of a monarchy older than any other in Europe. Started in the 1170s, the cathedral is a living timeline: every era added its own chapel, from Gothic vaults to gilded Renaissance splendour to the strikingly modern resting place prepared for the present royal family. UNESCO lists it as a World Heritage site, and walking its side chapels is the closest you can get to reading a thousand years of Danish history in one building.
