O
Rýchle fakty: Tri zachované kópie Magny Charty existujú a Lincolnská katedrála vlastní jednu z nich v svojej ohromujúcej klenutej kapitulskej sále. Jej centrálna veža bola kedysi najvyššou budovou sveta s výškou 160 metrov, kým ju v roku 1549 nezničila búrka.
Zaujímavosti: Pozrite sa hore na strop Anjelského chóru a uvidíte vyše 300 vytesaných anjelov, ktorí sa na vás pozerajú, každý s iným výrazom a pózou. Stredoveký "Lincolinský škriatok" vytesaný do stĺpa je nezbedné kamenné stvorenie so skríženou nohou a legenda hovorí, že anjel premenil škriatka na kameň uprostred jeho neplechy práve tu.
Insiderské tipy
- Climb the tower for panoramic views over Lincolnshire, but book ahead as spaces are limited to small groups.
- The Wren Library above the cloisters holds the Magna Carta copy, but it is only open for limited hours on specific days, so check the schedule before you go.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the cathedral sits at the top of Steep Hill and involves walking on uneven medieval stone floors inside.
- Visit during Advent to hear the famous Lincoln Cathedral Choir performing in the spectacular acoustic setting.
