The Dom in Schleswig looks huge from the outside ...but only when you go inside do you realise its dimensions. The part below was built originally in Roman times but then the whole things was surrounded by a new church in the Renaissance.
Among the extraordinary collection housed by the Dom is the Cenotaph of Friedrichs I, King of Dänemark und Norwegen, Prince of Schleswig und Holstein. It was created by the Flemish sculptor Cornelis Floris and is one of the "most extraordinary masterworks of Dutch Renaissance-Art in North Europe.“ (Wikipedia, what else!)
