Maribo Cathedral

A great Nordic monastery.

Maribo Cathedral is located right on beautiful Søndersø.
The church was originally built in the 15th century as part of a double monastery - situated between a nunnery and a monastic monastery.
When the old village church burned down in 1596, the monastery church became the town's new church. In 1803 the church changed its status and became a cathedral church.
The church has undergone various renovations over the centuries. But in the 1890s the church was restored to its original form, and today the church looks as a monastery church looked like in the Middle Ages.
Today the original remains of the nunnery can be seen outside the church. Cobblestones show where the walls of the old monastery used to be.
The cathedral is open to visitors all week from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.visitlolland-falster.de/tourist/urlaubsplaner/maribo-domkirche-gdk616344

What an impressive building! The nave was built in the 14th century, but the church tower later - demolished around 1740 and rebuilt. Typical here are the red brick that was used for the masonry and the typical construction of the gable in stages for Danish churches.
