Roskilde Kloster is a beautiful monastery formerly for unmarried noble ladies. The town of Roskilde dates back to medieval times. Roskilde is a member of the Most Ancient European Towns Network.
Five Viking ships were sunk in the fjord to create a barrier against invaders. The ships were made out of oak, pine, lime, ash and birch.
The ships were longships, trading ships, warships and fishing vessels. Their sizes varied carrying crews of 5-6 to 30. Top speeds ranged from 8.5 to 20 knots.
Danish kings and queens spanning over 10 centuries are buried at Roskilde Cathedral.

Beautiful pictures, thank you for sharing these x
Glad you liked them. It was such a lovely, quaint town.
Great photos! Nice city!
It’s a nice place. I think I might like to live there!
I change you Roskilde for Lund, in Sweden. Hygge!!
Cheers
How beautiful! It was quite a Viking settlement at one time, wasn’t it? I’m amazed by the beautiful curves of the boat hulls.
From what we read, it was formerly the capital. It’s a very old city and key trading location so near the water. I expected the boats to be larger. I can’t imagine sailing the seas in them.
Love these pics… Fabulous!

Thanks. It was a lovely place. The Cathedral was magnificent.
So historical! Your descriptive pics are like the next best thing to being there 🙂
It does serve as a reminder for me so that years later, I will remember what it was.
