The Cathedral is the most important church in Denmark, the official royal burial church of the Danish monarchs and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is due to two criterias: the architecture of the Cathedral shows 800 years of European architectural styles, and it's one of the earliest examples in Scandinavia of a Gothic cathedral to be built in brick, it encouraged the spread of the Brick Gothic style throughout Northern Europe. Constructed during the 12th and 13th centuries, the Cathedral incorporates both Gothic and Romanesque architectural features in its design. The Cathedral has been the main burial site for Danish monarchs since the 15th century. As such, it has been significantly extended and altered over the centuries to accommodate a considerable number of burial chapels and the many added chapels shows different architectural styles.
Roskilde Cathedral is the place where most of the monarchs of Denmark have been burried. This includes the viking Harald Bluetooth, second king of Denmark. It is after him, the technology Bluetooth is named.
Roskilde Palæ was built in 1733. Today it serves as the seat of the bishop. Occasionally it is also used by the royal family in connection with royal funerals in the adjacent cathedral.

The Roskilde Jars.
Roskilde's three giant jars by the artist Peter Brandes are 5 metres high and weigh about 24 tons altogether.
They were given to Roskilde by the company Stryhn's Leverpostej A/S to commemorate Roskilde's 1000-years anniversary in 1998.
According to the artist they symbolise life and death, as jars are used for storage of food and as urns.
The name of all employees of the company and of those taking part in the production are inscribed on the jars. The first jar - seen from the station - has been adorned with a poem by Henrik Nordbrandt about Roskilde and Queen Margrethe I.
The work is created by Peter Brandes
Year of construction 1998

Roskilde Cathedral (Danish: Roskilde Domkirke), in the city of Roskilde on the island of Zealand (Sjælland) in eastern Denmark, is a cathedral of the Lutheran Church of Denmark. The first Gothic cathedral to be built of brick, it encouraged the spread of the Brick Gothic style throughout Northern Europe. Constructed during the 12th and 13th centuries, the cathedral incorporates both Gothic and Romanesque architectural features in its design. Until the 20th century, it was Zealand's only cathedral. Its twin spires dominate the skyline of the town.
The cathedral has been the main burial site for Danish monarchs since the 15th century. As such, it has been significantly extended and altered over the centuries to accommodate a considerable number of burial chapels. Following the Danish Reformation in 1536, the bishop's residence was moved to Copenhagen while the title was changed to Bishop of Zealand. Coronations normally took place in Copenhagen's Church of Our Lady or in the chapel of Frederiksborg Palace.
The cathedral is a major tourist attraction, bringing in over 125,000 visitors annually. Since 1995, it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A working church, it also hosts concerts throughout the year.

La catedral de Roskilde es una de las atracciones principales de la ciudad de Roskilde, en Dinamarca. Era la iglesia principal de la antigua diócesis de Roskilde antes de la aparición del luteranismo.
Esta catedral, de estilo gótico, se construyó en la Edad Media entre el siglo XII y el siglo XIII. Enteramente construida en ladrillo rojo, fue la causa de la propagación de este estilo en el Norte de Europa.
Aquí tienen sepultura la mayoría de los reyes y reinas de Dinamarca, y fue por esto adaptada a los gustos de los distintos tiempos hasta el siglo XX, mediante ampliaciones laterales menores: porches y capillas. Eso hace de esta catedral un friso cronológico de la evolución de la arquitectura de los edificios cristianos en la Europa del Norte.
A partir de 1413, los monarcas daneses se enterraron en esta catedral. En total, hay 20 reyes y 17 reinas, en cuatro diferentes capillas, en el corazón de la catedral, o también en tumbas exteriores.
La catedral de Roskilde fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1995.
