Description

St Magnus Cathedral

St Magnus Cathedral was founded primarily as a final resting place for the relics of St Magnus. Work on its construction started in 1137. The ancient Cathedral remains a simbol of the 600-year Norse sway over Orkney, and of the power and wealth of the Norse Earldom. For over 875 years it has dominated Kirkwall.
