Helsingør - St Mary Church

Well worth seeing is St Mary's Church, about 150m/165yd north of St Olaf's Church in the center of Helsingør, in Skt. Anna Gade. Built in the Late Middle Ages, the church boasts a fine interior and a magnificent organ. The composer Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707) was organist here between 1660 and 1668 and lived at Skt. Anna Gade 6. St Mary's Church forms the south wing of a Carmelite monastery, built about 1430 and later restored. The courtyard, enclosed on all sides by open arcades, the church and the chapter house are the venues for concerts and lectures.
