P401 - Denmark - St. Canute's Cathedral in Odense


St. Canute's Cathedral, Odense, Denmark




St. Canute's Cathedral, also known as Odense Cathedral, is named after the Danish king Canute the Saint, otherwise Canute IV. It is a fine example of Brick Gothic architecture. The church's most visited section is the crypt where the remains of Canute and his brother Benedict are on display.


欧登塞(丹麦语:Odense)是丹麦第三大城市,也是丹麦第二大岛菲英岛的首府。1970年之前归欧登塞省管辖,1970年到2006年底划归菲英省,2007年1月1日起划入新成立的南丹麦区。2007年1月1日,欧登塞市共有人口186,745人。

欧登塞位于丹麦首都哥本哈根到日德兰半岛之间,是哥本哈根通往日德兰半岛的必经之地。在1998年大贝尔特桥通车之前,从西兰岛到菲英岛之间只能通过摆渡。大贝尔特桥是世界上第二长悬索桥,1997年铁路通车,1998年公路也随后建成。大桥落成后,从哥本哈根到欧登塞仅需75分钟。

在中世纪时期,欧登塞曾经是丹麦神职人员的中心,拥有众多的修道院和教堂,很多教徒来到这里朝圣。欧登塞虽小,却因为是安徒生的故乡而享誉世界。多少年来它不断地迎接着来自世界各地的不同国籍、不同阶层的人们,迎接着安徒生童话的喜爱者及安徒生的崇拜者们。除安徒生之外,奥登塞还有另外一个文化名人。他就是出生在奥登塞南郊一个小镇里的著名作曲家卡尔·尼尔森(Carl Nielsen)。
