St Canutes Cathedral

St. Canute's Cathedral, also referred to as Odense Cathedral, is named after the Danish king Canute the Saint , otherwise Canute IV. It is a nice instance of Brick Gothic architecture.

The church's maximum visited phase is the crypt wherein the stays of Canute and his brother Benedict are on display. St. Canute's Church in one shape or some other has stood on Abbey Hill in Odense for over 900 years. Odense became installed as the seat of the Bishop of Odense before 988 underneath the supervision of the Bishop of Schleswig, itself a suffragan of the Archbishops of Hamburg-Bremen. The diocese blanketed the southern Baltic islands of Denmark. The earliest bishops' names have now not been recorded. Odense exceeded to the jurisdiction of Roskilde in 1072 for a brief time frame before falling to the Archdiocese of Lund. The earliest recognised church on the existing vicinity became a travertine church which became mentioned below production by means of Aelnoth of Canterbury, a Benedictine monk at the nearby St. Alban's Priory in 1095.
