St. Canute’s Cathedral

No self respecting European city goes without its own cathedral.  Odense is no different, St. Canute’s Cathedral is dedicated to the last Viking king of Denmark and his bones as well as those of his brother are displayed in the cathedral crypt.  Unlike some of the more ostentatious and extravagant baroque cathedrals this one is a great example of a gothic brick architecture – sparsely decorated and clean.
