St. Canute's Cathedral
St. Canute's Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Odense, Denmark
The cathedral features a high nave constructed with red bricks and contains a crypt beneath the main floor accessible to visitors.
King Canute IV of Denmark was killed at this location in 1086, leading to his canonization and the cathedral being named after him.
The cathedral houses a notable altarpiece by Claus Berg from the 1500s, depicting scenes from the life of Christ across three wooden panels.
The cathedral maintains regular worship services and restricts visitor movement during Wednesday noon prayers from 11:45 to 12:30.
The crypt contains the remains of several Danish royals, including Saint Canute, King Hans, Queen Christine, and Christian II.
