Informations supplémentaires

Amazingly, this cathedral was built by Vikings! It's long history begins over 870 years ago as a repository for the bones and relics of St. Magnus, an earl murdered by his cousin about 1117. When I first went into it, DURHAM passed immediately through my mind as I viewed the construction. It is thought that possibly stone masons who had trained at Durham were hired to do St. Magnum. Both are massive stone Cathedrals of similar style.
