Description

Roskilde Cathedral is a unique Gothic cathedral that is located in the city of Roskilde, in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Following the denomination of the Lutheran Church of Denmark, this cathedral is considered to be the first one in Northern Europe to be built entirely of brick, which actually encouraged the Brick Gothic style to be used more commonly.There is no actual year when the Roskilde Cathedral was built, however, it is considered to have been constructed sometime in 12 and 13 centuries, and throughout the centuries architects incorporated different architectural styles to the Gothic one. Among them are French Gothic, Dutch Renaissance, Neoclassicism, Byzantine Revival and Modernist.
