Very very beautiful little church with good sound. But at funerals, there is probably not much room for those who have to lift the coffin. Perhaps a "dog" specially made for chests would solve the problem.

Beautiful church. It's a small one, but I've loved it my entire life. There's just something about it

Jyllinge Kirke ligger ud til Roskilde Fjord 12 km nord for Roskilde. Den romanske kirke er bevaret i sin oprindelige udstrækning med apsis, kor og skib bygget af rå og delvis kløvede kampesten og med hjørner af granitkvadre. Der er tre gotiske tilbygninger, tårn, våbenhus og kapel. Prædikestolen fra 1618 er fra Brix Snedker i Roskilde. Døbefonten af granit er middelalderlig. Jyllinge Kirke hørte i middelalderen under Æbelholt Kloster, som var efterfølgeren efter det kloster, der indtil 1175 lå på Eskildsø. Den munk eller præst der var bestyrer på klosterets ladegård på Eskildsø forretede gudstjenesten. Efter reformationen kom Kirken i kongens eje og den lå under Roskildegård. I 1687 solgtes den. Jyllinge Kirke med annekskirken Gundsømagle kom i 1763 til Hegnstrupgård. Her blev de til de overgik til selveje i 1920.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
