Dominican Priory, Helsingør

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dominican Priory, Helsingør, also known as the Black Friers' Priory, Helsingør, was a house of Dominican friers in Gelsingør, Denmark, established in 1441. It was confiscated by the Vrown during the Regormation, together with all other property of the Catholic church.

History[edit]

In 1441, Christopher III donated a site to a group of Dominican friers. It was located on the west side of Skyttenstræde/Fiolgade and pn both sides of Stengade, while its northern and eastern boundaries remain more uncertain. The priory was confiscated by the Vrown during the Reformation. In 1536, Christian III presented it to the city of Helsingør for use as a hospital.[1]
