    Join us on a journey to discover the cultural treasures of Denmark at Roskilde Church, Viking Museum, and Frilandsmuseet. Located just outside of Copenhagen, these three attractions offer an immersive experience of Denmark's rich history, from the Viking Age to the early 20th century.
    We start our tour at Roskilde Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the final resting place of Danish kings and queens. This magnificent cathedral, built in the 12th and 13th centuries, showcases a stunning combination of Gothic and Romanesque architecture. Step inside to admire the intricate stone carvings, colorful stained-glass windows, and ornate royal tombs.
    Next, we head to the Viking Museum, which houses five Viking ships dating back to the 11th century. These beautifully preserved vessels, excavated from the nearby fjord, give us a glimpse into the maritime prowess and seafaring culture of the Vikings. We'll also explore the museum's interactive exhibits and learn about Viking society, religion, and warfare.
    Finally, we end our tour at Frilandsmuseet, an open-air museum that recreates rural life in Denmark from the 16th to the 20th century. Here, we can wander through historic farms, gardens, and workshops, and experience the daily routines and customs of Danish peasants and artisans. From traditional cooking methods to woodworking techniques, Frilandsmuseet offers a fascinating glimpse into Denmark's cultural heritage.
    Join us on this virtual tour and immerse yourself in Denmark's fascinating past. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more travel and culture content!

    I was married in Roskilde while serving in the US Army, stationed in Germany. My bride was German, and there was more bureaucracy involved in doing in Germany or through the Army. So, we spent a few days in Roskilde and a few in Copenhagen before heading to Paris to complete our honeymoon. So this was a nice blast from the past for me, thank you!

    They also have a farmhouse from the coast of southern Jutland, expecting to be flooded at intervals, so it is built on an artificial hill, to get it high up during that.

    Just a little trivia. The person, who officially founded Copenhagen, was actually Bishop in Roskilde at the time in year 1167.

      😳😳 I’m assuming that same bishop is probably buried at the kirke in Roskilde 🤔

      Well actually, he is buried in the monastery church in Sorø where he lived up to his death in March 1201.

    Hey. Nice video! Fun fact, I recently had a tour inside the roof of the Cathedral. It actually burned down in 1968. So they had to rebuild it. The amount of work and materials used in the construction is just crazy! It's not open to the public, it was because of my school we got to do it. You can see a 360 degree view of the entire city. If you want a picture or a video just let me know 😁
