Roskilde - Church of Our Lady

(Local Name: Vor Frue Kirke) In Fruegade, in the south of Roskilde, stands the Church of Our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke), the structure of which incorporates remains of the walls of an 11th century church which, according to the Danish historian Saxo (d. 1220), was built by Bishop Sven Normand around 1080. Restoration at various dates has severely altered the character of the church. Note the altar of 1620 with 19thcentury paintings by C. Hansen and F. C. Lund, and also the pulpit.
