Roskilde Cathedral has a long history of burying the regals.
Since the 1536 - and after the protestant reformation - Roskilde Cathedral has been the mausoleum and burial place for 40 Danish Kings and Queens.
This is the chapel of King Christian IV & was completed 6 years before King Christian IV died in 1648.
King Christian IV (1577-1648 - ruled Denmark and Norway 1588-1648) - is best known as the great builder of Copenhagen. The King died at his beloved Rosenborg Castle in 1648 - and he is buried in a very modest sarcophagus with his rapier sword lying on top of it.
The various ornate sarcophaguses – one more remarkable than the other – are placed in various burial chapels - within and outside the cathedral. Various Chapel sections have been added during centuries to the main building - which has been extended over many generations.
