11 century Roman church Tower. Vestervig Kirke (Church), Jutland, Denmark. To the church is connected the story about the sister of King Valdemar the Great and Prins Buris, who was in love. As the King discovered the story he led his sister dance to death and the Prins, after blinding him,  he chained to the wall of this church tower. The chain was just so long as he could touch the grave of his love. It is a tradition that brides put flowers on the grave.
