Today Donna and I took one of the ship's shore excursions. We went to Den Tilsandede Kirk, the Buried Church or the Church in Sand. The ancient bell tower is the only portion of the 1200-person capacity church not buried over the centuries by the blowing sands. Built in the 1400s it closed in 1775 by king's decree due to the parishioners having to shovel the sand out for every worship service. The government deemed it too expensive to excavate. Taken over in 1816 by lighthouse authorities to use as a navigational shipping guide. It was whitewashed by them. In 1903 the tower was registered as an ancient monument maintained by the Ministry of Environment and Food. Other things we saw on the tour include: heather in full bloom on the heaths, a Lutheran Church in town. And a Gunpowder tower-moved 300 meters in the late 1800s. We then went to Voergaard Castel - built in 1592, by the LaFite wine family. There were delicate porcelain place settings of Marie Antoinette from when she and the King of France were imprisoned in the Tower of London. The walls were covered in gorgeous Gilded and painted leather. There were numerous 250 year-old Murano blown glass chandeliers, as well as an antique Chinese incense/opium burner, a painting by Rubens, the Madman". It also contained a small catholic chapel. There is a blood spot on floor of young girl killed by Bishop's mistress, who killed her after falsely accusing her of....the stain cannot be washed away because it was "innocent blood". The mistress was allegedly not admitted to heaven and is said to haunt the castle. Denmark is a very flat country; Oxen Mountain is one of highest points in Denmark for viewing, the area is 95 meters above sea level. The highest point in Denmark is only 172 meters above sea level. We then had coffee/tea and an delicious almond paste danish in a little town called Frederikshavn at the Mollehuset (Mill House) Restaurant near a little stream. We went by an Inn where Hans Christian Anderson stayed in Aaelbaek.
