A STREET IN RIBE, CITY OF MANY MEMORIES 



Once this was the most important _ city in Jutland. Near by is the many-gabled old 

 castle, Riberhus, once the favorite residence of Danish kings. A series of misfortunes 

 eventually befell Ribe and the Reformation proved its death-blow. To-day, in inconspicuous 

 quaintness, it stands guard over its memories.
