Roskilde Cathedral, Denmark. Burial Place of Kings
Description
Built in the 12th and 13th centuries, this was the first Gothic cathedral built of brick in Scandinavia, and it inspired the spread of this style throughout Northern Europe. It became the mausoleum of the Danish royal family from the 15th century onwards. Porches and side chapels were added to it up until the end of the 19th century. It now provides a visible summary of the development of European religious architecture.
