ROSKILDE, or ROESKILDE

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 738 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
ROSKILDE, or ROESKILDE , a town of Denmark in the amt (county) of KjSbenhavn (
Copenhagen
 ), 20 M. by rail W. of
Copenhagen
 , on the
great
  lagoon-like inlet named
Roskilde
  Fjord. Pop. (1901) 8368. It has a small port, and is an important railway junction, from which lines diverge W., S.W. and S. through the
island
  of Zealand. Its
interest
 , however, is historical. It was the
capital
  of the kingdom until 1443, and the residence of the bishops of Zealand until the Reformation. The
cathedral
 , a beautiful
church
 , was consecrated in 1084, but of this early building only foundation walls remain; the present structure of brick was begun in 1215, and enlarged and restored at various later
dates
 . It stands in relation to Danish history somewhat as Westminster Abbey does to
English
 , containing the tombs of most of the Danish kings from Harold I. (987). The most noteworthy architectural details are the Chapel of the Trinity (15th century) and that of Christian IV. (Renaissance, 1617), carved choir-stalls, and an altar-piece of the 16th century. Other old buildings are a
church
  of Our Lady, dating as it stands from 1242, a diocesan library (partly of the 15th century), royal palace (1733) and institute for daughters of noblemen (167o).
