Beautiful, redwashed church and a fine, well-kept cemetery with finely cracked aisles and many beautiful tombstones. Unfortunately, the church was locked.

Nice church, although can smell, feel a little dampness inside and can see the damp walls.

A beautiful village church, which is redwashed with white cornices. It is located on an elevation by the street pond in Våbensted. The oldest parts of the church, the nave and chancel, were built in the 13th century in Romanesque style. A plaque on the tower tells that it was built of stone from Maribo monastery in 1674.

Citadelle of Quebec

The Citadelle of Quebec is an active military installation and official residence of both the Canadian monarch and the Governor General of Canada. It is located atop Cap Diamant, adjoining the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City. The citadel is the oldest military building in Canada, and forms part of the fortifications of Quebec City, which is one of only two cities in North America still surrounded by fortifications, the other being Campeche, Mexico.

The first fortifications in Quebec were built by the Governor General of New France Louis de Buade, and completed just in time for the Battle of Quebec in 1690.

After the British conquest in the second half of the 18th century, the problem of Quebec City's defences grew more acute.
