Roskilde Palace

Highlight • Historical Site

The royal palace was built from 1733-36, immediately east of the cathedral church. The palace is still the seat of a bishopric (in the Lutheran state church) and houses several museums and is a place for cultural events. There is a corridor bridge from here directly into the cathedral.

Roskilde Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

The Roskilde Cathedral is one of the most important church buildings in Denmark and is also the burial place of the royal family. Many sarcophagi of deceased kings and queens can be seen here and as a result many side chapels that were built after the death of a monarch, as well as works of art of all kinds are exhibited here. The place is steeped in history and those interested should buy a corresponding information booklet at the entrance. The cathedral church is also an active parish church. Therefore, there is no or only limited access for tourists during church activities.

Viking Ship Museum, Roskilde

Highlight • Historical Site

One of the most important shipwreck sites is found in the silt of Roskilde Fjord, which is only a meter deep in places. In particular, the remains of numerous dragon boats (longships) from the Viking Age came to light here. In 1962, 5 Viking ships were found, in 1996, when there had long been a museum for the ship finds and this was being expanded, nine more ships were discovered, one of which is 36 m long and thus the longest dragon boat find ever.
