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?
Step inside Ansgar Kirche Anno 860 for a short historical experience. It is a chance to sense some of the atmosphere that greeted the first Danish churchgoers.
