Video: Karl gives an overview of Quest 39
DAY TWO: Wednesday 10th April 2024: Across on the train and into Garrel in north-west Germany for two nights, a journey of 385 miles taking nearly seven hours. A smooth and trouble free journey across into Germany and the real start of this adventure!
Along the road into Germany….
DAY THREE: Thursday 11th April: St Vitus Church. Dörpen. Germany: The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Vitus is located in Dörpen in Lower Saxony. Between 1794 and 1798 a classicist hall church, built in typical Templar style, in place of an older chapel and was consecrated in 1801. The church tower was built in 1883, demolished and rebuilt on the southeast flank of the nave. The interior is covered with a wooden flat ceiling decorated in stucco. In the crossing is a dome-like recess with a depiction of the Trinity. The oldest part of the church furnishings is a carved Pieta from the beginning of the 16th century. A wooden figure of Saint Vitus was created around 1700. There were some very interesting wooden carvings there, and statues too, with a very strong Templar and Craft connection. Females saints are depicted beautifully in the stained-glass windows giving the church a very strong female energy, together with some iconic serpent symbology too.Serpents have always been very important within Craft – hence why we are known as ‘The Serpent Priesthood’.

Dörpen is a typical little German town, in the clean and thoughtful style one comes to expect in Germany. Spacious streets with shops set well back from the road and everything well looked after. After the church we enjoyed a wander and a coffee, stopping at a local bakery for refreshments, in the way of baked goods and a lovely espresso coffee.
The clean streets and bakery of Dorpen – time to rest awhile…

Pfarrkirche St. Clemens. Wesuwe. Haren: The Roman Catholic parish church of St Clemens is located in Wesuwe, a district of Haren (Elms) in Lower Saxony. The old part is from the 8th century and two extensions from the 16th and 19th centuries. In 1510 the foundation stone of the church tower was laid to replace the wooden bell tower. It was preserved and the old church was then rebuilt. In this church are some very interesting carvings and statues, and at the top of the stairs some unknown (to the modern world) symbols of which only ‘Craft’ will be familiar with. The depiction of the Last Supper is also very unusual for a specific reason not normally known of…. Can you see what it is?

DAY FOUR: Friday 12th April: Leaving Garrel, we had a long journey of 211 miles in front of us, a trip of about 4 hours. Upon the way though we did have a Craft connection stop, it is always enjoyable to break the journey.
St Peter’s Cathedral. Schleswig. Denmark: The cathedral was completed in 1200 CE, and is the main church of city of Schleswig and was the cathedral of the Bishop of Schleswig until the diocese was dissolved in 1624. It is now a church of the North Elbian Evangelical Lutheran Church, the seat of the Lutheran Bishop of Schleswig and Holstein. It is very gothic in style with some beautiful architecture both inside and out.

Although a long journey, it was a safe and interesting, stopping for a ‘rest break’ on route at this peaceful spot…
DAY FIVE: Saturday 13th April: A Rest Day. After arriving safely in at Fågelmara, Sweden, today was a rest day for relaxation and recuperation, before another long journey….
DAY SIX: Sunday 14th April: Leave Fågelmara and another long trip ahead of us, stopping along the way at our next cathedral. The journeys themselves are always very interesting with lots of points of interest along the way – one never knows what may lie around each corner….
Leaving Fågelmara, on route to Stockholm.
Linkoping Cathedral. St Persgatan. Sweden: The cathedral here is 800 years old, it’s first recorded history on this site begins in the 11th century, with the construction of a wooden church. Later, around 1120, a stone church was built, a basilica of about half the size of the present building. By around 1230 it became necessary to construct a larger church. It is an active Lutherian church and one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in Europe. It was an extremely blustery day when we arrived, making walking very challenging. The cathedral was undergoing renovations with big plastic sheeting flapping around furiously in the winds!

Espresso on the road! Then a three night stay in Sweden in one of the ‘Hoom’ hotel apartments before embarking upon a ferry trip to Stockholm.
DAY SEVEN: Monday 15th April: Storkyrkan Cathedral. Stockholm, Sweden: Situated in the old town area of Stockholm, it is the oldest church in modern times. Consecrated 1306 CE, the Great Church, also called Stockholms domkyrka and Sankt Nikolai Kyrka (church of Saint Nicholas). The church lies in the oldest part of Stockholm down some narrow streets, but on the highest point. It was consecrated to Saint Nicholas in 1306 and still maintains much of it’s late medieval appearance. Hard to photograph though as in a very built up area around the cathedral, with old narrow street, little shops and of course visitors.
Walking towards the cathedral through the old bustling part of Stockholm.

Inside this old cathedral is much ancient symbology.

Saint Gertrude German Church. Svartmangatan. Stockholm, Sweden: Just a short walk away, again own narrow streets, the German guild of St. Gertrude was founded on the location for the present church in the 14th century. While the guild was created by German merchants, their Swedish counterparts were often invited to take part in its activities. For example, King Charles VIII was elected in the guild’s building in 1448. The headquarters of the guild was gradually rebuilt into a church starting in the 1580. Although the church was closed, it was set in a pretty little garden so we were able to have a nice stroll around outside. The church is dedicated to Saint Gertrude (626-659), abbess of the Benedictine monastery of Nivelles, in present day Belgium, and patron saint of travellers.
