4.5Grundtvig Church (Grundtvigs Kirke)(403 reviews) - Stupendous with Six Million Bricks Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
It’s a remarkable architectural achievement dating from the first half of the twentieth century. Named to honour the renowned polymath, philosopher and educator it sits amongst a residential area. Extraordinarily it is constructed with six million bricks, one for practically every Danish person today. With an interior that is unadorned with overly artistic works, it is a serene and meditative space. We had it almost to ourselves, which highlighted the tranquil nature.See more..
Wonderful in brick craft it is a treasured legacy from the 1400s. Moving beyond the outstanding façade in red and stepping inside is to see a fabulous organ dating from the early 1660s. This is just one of the impressive features. An exquisite pulpit adorned with superb holy images is on the way to the altar area. Pews in light grey have a scallop shell motif on each. A gorgeous ceiling crowns the grand array of columns and arches. The fine cloister shows its origins as part of the Carmelite Monastery.See more..
4.0Maribo Domkirke(97 reviews) - Do not miss Historic Sites • Religious Sites
It was originally part of Maribo Abbey which was founded in the early 15th century. It is located right down to the beautiful Søndersø. The Gothic cathedral is built of red brick as a hall church with a nave flanked by equally high aisles with a common roof. The church was originally built as part of a double monastery - located between a nunnery and a monastery. Back in 1596 when Maribo's old village church burned down, the abbey church became the city's new church and in 1803, the church changed its status to a cathedral. Through the ages the church has been subject to various rebuilds and in the 1890s, the church was restored to its original form, so that today the church stands as a bid for what it may have looked like as a monastery church in the Middle Ages. The cathedral is open for visits all week at 9.00 - 17.00.See more..
A wonderful place of worship with a long history given that its foundations date back to the 13th century. What we admire today was finished in the mid 1500s. Outstanding in brick and grand in style, it looked most impressive in the mid morning light. Inside is marvellous. Gilt ornamentation is throughout particularly so around the altar. A terrific organ is in place. A delightful pulpit is just one of the features of the great nave. Crowned by a lovely ceiling in white.See more..
