Roskilde Cathedral world heritage

Roskilde Cathedral is on the world hertige list because it is very old, and all danish kings and queens are here, and the new kings and queens must also be buried in Roskilde Cathedral, and because it was the biggest church at the time it was built by two and a half million bricks.

It started out as a small wooden church as Harald Bluetooth built in year 980. It was called Treeninghedskirken. However, it soon became larger. The cathedral developed the following years in several forms, and diffrent buildings. You can see what time the various extensions are made because it was popular at the time it was built in.

They are currently in the process of building a new burial palace for the curent queen Margrethe and her husband Henri.
