The main altar was consecrated in 1145 and the cathedral was by that time largely finished; the western towers were built somewhat later. Its architecture show clear influences from contemporary north Italian architecture, conveyed via the Rhine Valley. The earliest architect was named Donatus, though his precise role in the construction of the cathedral is difficult to determine. The new cathedral was richly decorated with stone scul ...

For the first 750 years of its existence, the school was located directly adjacent to the Cathedra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cathedral School
Cathedral schools began in the Early Middle Ages as centers of advanced education, some of them ultimately evolving into medieval universities. Throughout the Middle Ages and beyond, they were complemented by the monastic schools. Some of these early cathedral schools, and more recent foundations, continued into modern times. Early schools In the later Roman Empire, as Roman municipal education declined, bishops began to establish schools associated with their cathedrals to provide the church with an educated clergy. The earliest evidence of a school established in this manner is in Visigothic Spain at the Second Council of Toledo in 527. These early schools, with a focus on an apprenticeship in religious learning under a scholarly bishop, have been identified in other parts of Spain and about twenty towns in Gaul (France) during the sixth and seventh centuries. During and after the mission of St Augustine to England, cathedral schools were established as the new dioceses we ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lundagård (park)
Lundagård is a park located in Lund, Sweden. It is situated between the Lund University Main Building in the North, and Lund Cathedral in the South with Kungshuset in between. History Lundagård was originally the name of the archbishop's fortress built in the early 12th century just north of Lund Cathedral. For a long time a walled garden separated "town" from "gown". Today, the one remaining gate (of the original three) is the entrance to the '' Kulturen'' museum. The park known today was designed in 1745 by the Royal architect Carl Hårleman and originally included a botanical garden. Kungshuset, built in 1584 as a residence by the Danish king, later became the first main building of Lund University. As the university expanded the botanical garden was replaced by ''Universitetsplatsen'' in the 1880s and the new university building, located just north of Kungshuset. Other buildings in Lundagård are the , the Lund University Historical Museum and Palaestra et Odeum. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
European Spallation Source
The European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS) is a multi-disciplinary research facility currently under construction in Lund, Sweden. Its Data Management and Software Centre (DMSC) is co-located with DTU in Lyngby, Denmark. Its 13 European contributor countries are partners in the construction and operation of the ESS. The ESS is scheduled to begin its scientific user program in 2027, when the construction phase is set to be completed. The ESS will assist scientists in the tasks of observing and understanding basic atomic structures and forces, which are more challenging to do with other neutron sources in terms of lengths and time scales. The research facility is located near the MAX IV Laboratory, which conducts synchrotron radiation research. The construction of the facility began in the summer of 2014 and the first science results are planned for 2027. During operation, the ESS will use nuclear spallation, a process in which neutrons are liberated from heavy elements by hi ...

MAX IV
MAX IV is a synchrotron light source facility in Lund, Sweden, in the northeastern quarter Brunnshög as part of an innovation district including ESS and Science Village. MAX IV uses synchrotron light to examine materials at the micrometre and nanometre length scale, and in the nanosecond and picosecond time scale to understand their chemical and physical properties. The material research conducted at MAX IV has broad applications in medical, technical, biological, agricultural, industrial, and cultural fields. It became operational in 2016 and is the world’s first fourth-generation synchrotron light source. MAX IV has one linear accelerator, linac, with one beamline, and two storage rings with 5 and 11 beamlines, respectively. The radiation hits the samples in experiment stations at the end of each beamline and is examined by diffraction, spectroscopy, or imaging techniques to determine physical structure, chemical composition, dynamics, and other properties of the samples.
