Description
Odense is surrounded simply by a wooden fence. The city's numerous churches include, in the lower half of the picture on the left, the Sankt Knuds Kirke, or cathedral of St Canute, originally associated with a monastery and one of Denmark's largest and most important works of sacred architecture.
In 1086, during a popular uprising, the Danish king Canute IV was murdered together with a number of his supporters in the wooden church that preceded the present building. Odense ("Odin's shrine") is mentioned for the first time in AD 988, in the Viking context of the cult of Odin.
In the 11th century it became an episcopal see, and in the mid-14th century was granted the rights of a trading city. Part of the royal court moved here around 1500, stimulating growth both in the city and in the trade. Around 1600 the town had 6,000 inhabitants. (Taschen).
