Activity

Experience Ansgar Church

Opens at 10:00 on Thursday

Wednesday at 14:45

Winding carvings and colourful, dramatic images. Cowls, bells, singing, incomprehensible chanting, and the scent of incense lingering in the air. A shift from familiar customs to the rules and rituals of Christianity. Surely, all of this must have been an overwhelming sensory experience for a person in the 9th century - someone who neither read books, watched TV, nor browsed the internet?

Join us for a short historical ceremony in Ansgar Church 860 AD. This séance offers a chance to experience some of the atmosphere that greeted Denmark’s first churchgoers.
