Roskilde Cathedral with royal graves
Roskilde Cathedral is considered one of the most important church buildings in Denmark and one of the most important monuments overall, due to its unique architecture and its connection to Danish history. The cathedral was built in the 12th and 13th centuries in Gothic style with bricks, as one of the earliest examples in Scandinavia, but today contains architectural styles from 800 years. The cathedral has been the burial church of the royal family for centuries and contains 38-40 royal graves: 19-21 kings and 19 queens. Together with murals and art, they tell the story of the kings, the church, and Denmark's history for 1000 years. In 1995, the cathedral was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List.
