For many centuries the tombs of Danish Kings and Queens are in Roskilde Cathedral. In the coming days some of the sarcophagi will be shown at the blog. Here it is the sarcophagus of Chr. IV (1588-1648).

Scaffold inside Roskilde Cathedral
The other day I visited the Cathedral. I knew there was a scaffold inside the church, because a re-liming (correct word?) is taking place. The lime-proces was last time done in 1972. Therefor the interior does not look as usual. Roskilde Cathedral is on the UNESCO World Heritage List
