The Church of Our Lady is a unique building, the only surviving basilica in Zealand. A basilica is a church with multiple naves, where the central nave is higher than the side aisles and there is an open connection between the naves. Fretstone is a limestone deposited around a spring.

Roskilde is rich in springs and rocks. The first cathedral was built of stone,

but was later replaced by a brick church.

Svend Norman was Bishop of Roskilde from 1073 to 1088. He built not only the first cathedral but also the Church of Our Lady. Between 1160 and 1400, the form of the church changed. A cloister and a tower were built for the church.

The church was subsequently rebuilt in the Gothic architectural style, which venerates light, which is why the church is elevated and equipped with vaults and high windows.

In 1536, the Reformation took place in Denmark. The Catholic church is replaced by the Lutheran church. Danish churches and their large properties belong to the king. The church changes its shape when the monastery is first demolished

and part of the church burns down.

In the 19th century, attempts were made to restore the church to its Romanesque form.

The Gothic vaults and high, pointed windows disappear. In 1907, the new Church of Our Lady was built south of Roskilde. Therefore, the Old Church of Our Lady is only occasionally used today.
