Garðar Domkirke

Garðar Domkirke er ruinen af den romerskkatolske domkirke som nordboerne opførte i Gardar ved det moderne Igaliku i Grønland. Stedet fungerede som bispesæde fra 1126 til omkring 1378. Det var den første domkirke, der blev opført i Amerika og det er også det ældste eksempel på europæisk arkitektur i denne del af verden. Domkirken forfaldt efter den sidste biskop, Álfr, døde omkring 1378, da bispesædet stadig eksisterede men efterfølgende biskopper aldrig besøgte Grønland. Ruinerne kan fortsat ses i dag. Fundamentet af domkirken og de øvrige bygninger blev først opdaget i 1926. Der blev gennemført arkæologisk udgravninger af den danske arkæolog Poul Nørlund. Der blev fundet flere kranier fra hvalros og narhval. Blandt de mest berømte genstande er en række grave, hvoraf den ene var en bispegrav nord for kapellet, hvor der blev fundet en bispestav og en guldring der sad på et skelet. Referencer
Kathedrale von Garðar

Die Kathedrale von Garðar (dänisch Garðar Domkirke) in Igaliku ist die Ruine der ehemaligen Domkirche des untergegangenen römisch-katholischen Bistums Garðar in Grönland. Geschichte Im Jahr 1124 wurde auf Wunsch König Sigurds II. Arnaldr als erster Bischof von Garðar zu den Grænlendingar nach Grönland entsandt. Er wurde von Asker, erster Erzbischof von Lund geweiht und traf 1126 in Grönland ein und wirkte dort für 24 Jahre als Bischof. Unter seinem Episkopat begann der Bau der romanischen Kathedrale von Garðar. Archäologische Ausgrabungen 1926 haben die heute noch sichtbaren Grundmauern des Gotteshauses freigelegt. Die dem heiligen Nikolaus von Myra geweihte Kathedrale wurde aus lokalem Rotsandstein errichtet. Die Länge betrug 27 Meter, die Breite 16 Meter. Das einschiffige Langhaus war 13 Meter breit. An das Langhaus schloss sich im Osten ein quadratischer Chorraum an, dem nördlich und südlich Seitenkapellen angefügt waren. Die Kathedrale besaß somit als einzige grönländische Kirche einen kreuzförmigen Grundriss. Jedoch ragte die Ostwand des Chorraums nur wenig über die Seitenkapellen hinaus, so dass mehr der Eindruck eines Taukreuzes entsteht. Die Kirche des Lyseklosters in Norwegen weist einen nahezu identischen Grundriss auf. Auch hier ragte die Ostwand des Chors nur wenig über die Seitenkapellen hinaus. Einzig das Langhaus der Kirche war länger als das in Garðar. Die nachgewiesene Existenz von zwei Bronzeglocken lässt darauf schließen, dass die Kathedrale einen Glockenturm hatte, der sich möglicherweise als Chorturm über dem Chorraum erhob. In der nördlichen Kapelle wurde das Grab eines Bischofs aufgefunden, vermutlich das des 1209 verstorbenen Jón smyrill. Als Grabbeigaben wurden der Bischofsring sowie die Krümme des Bischofsstabs gefunden. Südlich der Kathedrale hat sich die Ruine des Bischofshauses erhalten. 1377 starb mit Álfr der letzte in Garðar residierende Bischof. Von 1377 bis 1530 wurden noch mindestens 18 Kleriker zu Bischöfen der bereits untergegangenen Diözese ernannt. Weblinks Gardar Cathedral. Visit Greenland Einzelnachweise
Garðar Cathedral Ruins

Garðar Cathedral (Danish: Garðar Domkirke), known formally as the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, was a Roman Catholic cathedral church located in Garðar, situated in Igaliku, Greenland. It was the first cathedral erected in the Americas, and is one of the oldest surviving examples of European architecture in the Americas. The cathedral was reduced to ruins and nowadays only its foundation can be seen. History The cathedral was founded by Greenland's first bishop Arnaldur in 1126, built of red sandstone quarried from a neighbouring hillside, in a cruciform, the only known church to be built this way in Greenland. The cathedral was dedicated to the patron saint of sailors, Saint Nicholas. Changes to the cathedral structure may have taken place during Bishop Jón Árnason's, or Jón Smyrill as he is also known, reign between 1188 and 1209. A bell tower was also built with the cathedral and windows of opaque, greenish glass. The cathedral chancel was quite narrow. There were also two chapels, one to the north and one to the south of the church, with the smaller chapel being used as a sacristy which included a path that led to the Bishop's residence. A farm and a palace for the bishop were also built, with the farm big enough to hold around 100 cows. The cathedral wealth expanded during the 13th and 14th centuries, with bishops imposing taxes on the locals. Moreover, no one was able to fish or hunt near the lands of the cathedral without the bishop's consent. Revenues were also collected from local hot springs which were believed to have medicinal value. Nonetheless, by the late 14th century, Greenland began its years of decline. With the death of Bishop Álfur in 1378, no new bishop ever went to Greenland even though they were still appointed until the reformation. Excavations It was only in 1926 that excavations discovered the foundations of the cathedral and the surrounding Norse buildings. Excavations were carried out by Danish archeologist Poul Nørlund. On the site, a number of walrus skulls and narwhal were discovered, suggesting that the area near the cathedral included a pagan temple. Amongst the most famous excavations include a number of graves, notably a grave of a bishop which was buried in the north chapel of the cathedral. The skeleton discovered was that of a powerfully built, middle-aged man. In his hands, a crosier made of ashwood and decorated with walrus ivory was discovered and a gold ring on the finger. The skeleton from the grave has been radiocarbon dated to 1223-1290 (the calibrated dating is 1272). Olaf was bishop in Greenland in the period 1246–80, so the grave was likely his. A bell was also excavated which may have been in the cathedral tower. References
Cathédrale de Garðar

La cathédrale Saint-Nicolas de Garðar (ou Garðar, ville à laquelle elle se rattachait) est une cathédrale en ruines située à Igaliku, au Groenland, pays constitutif du Danemark. Histoire La cathédrale fondée en 1126 et était entourée de champs de blé fertiles. Elle est construite sur l'emplacement d'une plus vieille église, et était au centre du premier district danois au Groenland, Eystribyggð. Le bois des meubles de la cathédrale est importé de Norvège. Elle est citée par le clerc du diocèse de Nidaros Ivar Bardasson au XVIe siècle qui fournit une description précise. Des fragments de cloche sont retrouvés dans la cathédrale. En 1347, le roi Magnus fait une donation de 100 marks pour habiller la cathédrale. Celle-ci est alors le centre qui délivre les droits de pêche et de chasse dans la région, et gère les eaux chaudes de la région conidérées comme ayant des vertus thérapeutiques. Des fouilles menées en 1926 ont permis d'y découvrir une crosse et un anneau attribué à l'évêque Jón Árnason. Les fouilles de 1926 ont aussi permis de découvrir que la cathédrale a été fondée sur un ancien site de culte païen. En 2017, le conseil international des monuments et des sites inscrit le Kujataa, y compris la cathédrale, au patrimoine mondial. Description La cathédrale de Garðar mesure trente-deux mètres sur seize.

Ruiny katedry w Gardarze

Ruiny katedry w Gardarze (duń. Garðar Domkirke) – pozostałości średniowiecznej katedry znajdujące się w Gardarze na Grenlandii. Katedra powstała w 1126 roku z inicjatywy biskupa Grenlandii Arnaldura. Wzniesiono ją w miejscu pogańskiej świątyni i poświęcono patronowi żeglarzy św. Mikołajowi. Do jej budowy użyto czerwonego piaskowca wydobywanego z pobliskiego wzgórza. Budowla na planie krzyża była jedyną, którą zbudowano w ten sposób na Grenlandii. Mierzyła ok. 27 m długości i 16 m szerokości. Posiadała wąskie prezbiterium oraz dwie kaplice, ulokowane w północnej i południowej części świątyni. Południowa kaplica wykorzystywana była jako zakrystia. Od niej też prowadziła ścieżka do rezydencji biskupa. Wraz z katedrą wzniesiono także dzwonnicę, farmę z dwoma stajniami dla ponad setki zwierząt i biskupią rezydencję. Świetność katedry przypadła na XIII i XIV wiek. Pod koniec XIV wieku nordyckie osady na Grenlandii zaczęły upadać. Po śmierci biskupa Álfura w 1378 roku, żaden nowy biskup nie przybył już na Grenlandię, mimo że mianowano ich do czasu reformacji. Przeprowadzone w 1926 roku badania archeologiczne pod kierownictwem duńskiego archeologa Poula Nørlunda, odsłoniły fundamenty katedry oraz pozostałych budynków. Archeolog oszacował jej powstanie na lata 1150–1250. Poza licznymi grobami, w północnej kaplicy natrafiono na grób biskupa, najprawdopodobniej Arnaldura. Znajdował się przy nim jesionowy krzyż ozdobiony kością morsa oraz złoty pierścień. Wykopano również dzwon, który najpewniej znajdował się na dzwonnicy. Przypisy
Catedral de Garðar

A Catedral de Garðar (em dinamarquês: Garðar Domkirke), conhecida formalmente como Catedral de São Nicolau, era uma igreja catedral católica romana localizada em Garðar, situada em Igaliku, Groenlândia. Foi a primeira catedral erguida nas Américas e está entre os exemplos mais antigos de arquitetura europeia ainda existentes nas Américas. A catedral foi reduzida a ruínas e hoje em dia apenas seus alicerces podem ser vistos. História A catedral foi fundada pelo primeiro bispo da Groenlândia, Arnaldur, em 1126, construída com arenito vermelho extraído de uma colina vizinha, em planta cruciforme, sendo a única igreja conhecida com essa planta na Groenlândia. A catedral foi dedicada ao santo padroeiro dos marinheiros, São Nicolau. Alterações na estrutura da catedral podem ter ocorrido durante o reinado do bispo Jón Árnason, ou Jón Smyrill, como também é conhecido, entre 1188 e 1209. Uma torre sineira também foi construída junto à catedral, com janelas de vidro opaco esverdeado. O coro da catedral era bastante estreito. Havia também duas capelas, uma ao norte e outra ao sul da igreja, sendo a capela menor usada como sacristia, que incluía um caminho que levava à residência do bispo. Uma fazenda e um palácio para o bispo também foram construídos, sendo a fazenda grande o suficiente para abrigar cerca de 100 vacas. A riqueza da catedral aumentou durante os séculos XIII e XIV, com os bispos impondo impostos aos habitantes locais. Além disso, ninguém podia pescar ou caçar perto das terras da catedral sem o consentimento do bispo. As receitas também eram recolhidas das fontes termais locais, às quais se atribuía valor medicinal. No entanto, no final do século XIV, a Groenlândia começou os seus anos de declínio. Com a morte do bispo Álfur em 1378, nenhum novo bispo foi para a Groenlândia, embora ainda fossem nomeados até à Reforma. Escavações Foi somente em 1926 que escavações descobriram os alicerces da catedral e dos edifícios nórdicos circundantes. As escavações foram realizadas pelo arqueólogo dinamarquês Poul Nørlund. No local, foram descobertos vários crânios de morsa e de narval, sugerindo que a área próxima à catedral incluía um templo pagão. Entre as escavações mais famosas, encontram-se vários túmulos, notadamente o de um bispo que foi sepultado na capela norte da catedral. O esqueleto descoberto era de um homem de meia-idade, de constituição robusta. Em suas mãos, foram encontrados um báculo de madeira de freixo decorado com marfim de morsa e um anel de ouro no dedo. O esqueleto do túmulo foi datado por radiocarbono entre 1223 e 1290 (a datação calibrada é 1272). Olaf foi bispo na Groenlândia no período de 1246 a 1280, portanto, o túmulo provavelmente era dele. Também foi escavado um sino que pode ter estado na torre da catedral. Ver também Diocese de Gardar Sé titular de Garðar Referências

Sanningasoq

Sanningasoq (old spelling: Sáningassoq) is a large oligotrophic twin lake in central-western Greenland, in the Qeqqata municipality. It is located approximately 9 km (5.6 mi) northeast of Kangerlussuaq. It is characteristic in that it is composed of two lakes connected via a narrow water passage through a broken isthmus. Its northwestern shore is at 67°05′15″N 50°39′50″W and its southeastern shore at 67°04′00″N 50°28′53″W. Geography The 2x10 km twin lake is separated from the Akuliarusiarsuup Kuua valley and Kangerlussuaq in the south by a low tundra ridge − part of the Kangaamiut dike swarm. To the east lies a sibling Aajuitsup Tasia lake, separated from Sanningasoq by a low marshland isthmus of little relief. To the north-east lies the 549 m (1,801 ft) Maniitsoq hill in the wide highland of Isunngua. The wide Tarajornitsut tundra highland lies to the west of the lake. The surface of Sanningasoq is almost level with the surface of the neighboring Aajuitsup Tasia, both being in the ancient outflow path of Russell Glacier, and by extension, Sermersuaq, the Greenland Ice Sheet. The local depression part of which is occupied by the lake continues for several dozen kilometers in the west-north-western direction towards Sarfannguit and Sisimiut.

Tasersuatsiaq

Tasersuatsiaq (old spelling: Taserssuatsiaq) is a lake in central-western Greenland, in the Qeqqata municipality. It is located southeast of Kangerlussuaq, with a depth of 80 m (262.5 ft), covering an area of 750 hectares (1,900 acres). Some traces of prehistoric gatherings sites are identified on the lake. During the operating years of the American base at Bluie West Eight at Kangerlussuaq, the lake was referred to as Lake Ferguson. The lake and the Roklubben Restaurant at its western shore are connected to Kangerlussuaq by a gravel road, one of the very few in Greenland. Tasersuatsiaq is a source of fresh water for Kangerlussuaq. Geography The 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) by 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) lake is separated from the valleys of Qinnguata Kuussua and Akuliarusiarsuup Kuua, as well as the Kangerlussuaq settlement in the north by a low tundra ridge of Qaarsorsuaq. To the west lies the far end of the Kangerlussuaq Fjord. On the southern and eastern side, it is bounded by a vast highland of Ammalortup Nunaa, the original region artificially populated with 27 muskoxen. Tasersuatsiaq is described of having a heavy wave action and a stony substrate. Tasersuatsiaq has an extensive abundance of kimberlite, with a diamond-favorable garnet site was discovered near the kimberlite system. The lake area is also known for having a nickel–norite belt, with potential of platinum and gold presence, in addition to nickel. Ecology The bottom of the lake is covered with pondweed meadows. Several fly species are recorded at Tasersuatsiaq, including species of Heterotrissocladius, Psectrocladius, Chironomus, Paracladopelma, Micropsectra and Tanytarsus, for which its oxygen uptakes were researched. In 2025, a research by the University of Maine Climate Change Institute reveals that Tasersuatsiaq had browned due to two months of record heat and precipitation in fall 2022, and may not be able to recover from the browning state.
