Roskilde, Denmark
A visit to Copenhagen is incomplete without a trip to the ancient Danish capital of Roskilde, the seat of the country's ecclesiastical and royal
power from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries. There's been a community here since prehistoric times, and the Roskilde Fjord later provided
a route to the open sea that was used by the Vikings. But it was the arrival of Bishop Absalon in the twelfth century that made the place the base
of the Danish church -- and, as a consequence, the national capital.
