A cultural-historical gem in Roskilde
The value of the monastery has, among other things, to do with the unique whole of buildings, gardens, courtyards and walls, which define and delimit the monastery area from the surrounding city. Roskilde Kloster is thus located as a unique, cultural-historical oasis in the middle of Roskilde city.
The cultural-historical value of the monastery is connected with the fact that the facility has retained the character of a monastery, as it shows in the clear and conscious demarcation of the area. In addition, the visible axis from the old main building along Sankt Ols Stræde and Domkirkestræde to Roskilde Cathedral, which testifies to the monastery’s historical significance and power.
The conservation values of the buildings are linked to the overall building complex with the original and older details, including plinths, masonry, doors, windows, cornices, gables, glazing and roofs with chimneys. In addition, the original and traditional material attitude.
