Kallundborg Kirke

Fig. 8. Oprindeligt Murværk. — Original masonry. 25—26 X 13 X 8—8% cm. Hovedparten af Stenene maaler dog 28—30 X 13—14 X 8% cm, Gennemsnitsmaalet for Mursten i vore romanske Teglstenskirker. Ved alle Hjørner og paa alle Formsten er Murstenenes Yderside riffelhugget efter Bræns dingen, med Riflerne i Reglen gaaende fra venstre skraat ned« ad til højre som det falder naturligt, naar man ved Hugningen holder Stenen i venstre Haand og Hammeren med højre. Den« ne Riffelhugning er som bekendt karakteristisk for vor ældste Teglstensarkitektur og bliver omkring Midten af 13de Aarh. anbragt paa Stenen før Brændingen, for kort efter helt at gaa af Mode. — Mørtelen er ganske fortrinlig og nu af en saa« dan Haardhed, at Kalk og Mursten virker som en ensartet haard Masse; den er ret fed, iblandet groft Grus, og nu af en hvidgul Farve, der har gjort det let under Restaureringen at skelne det oprindelige Murværk fra senere Tiders. Fugerne er gennemgaaende tykke, 2—2% cm, og noget uregelmæssigt ryg« skaarne, som det ses paa Fig. 8, der viser oprindelig udvendig Mur, som er bevaret ind mod Sakristiet. Det har ved Under« søgelsen vist sig, at Murværket overalt indvendig, og vistnok ogsaa udvendig, oprindelig har staaet rødmalet med hvidt optrukne Fuger, som det nu efter Restaureringen er synligt mange Steder, og som der senere skal gøres Rede for ved Be« skrivelsen af Kirkens Indre. Metoden viser sig at have været ikke ualmindelig i vore romanske Teglstenskirker, og er saa« ledes ikke noget enestaaende for Kallundborg Kirke 2. Det fremgaar af Murværket, at man, da Kirken blev opført, ikke har haft senere Tiders Øvelse i at bygge med Teglsten, hvad der jo ikke er mærkeligt saa faa Aar efter at Teglstens« tekniken naaede her til Landet. Ofte ser man Skifter som »for« løber«, Fugerne er meget uregelmæssige og Skiftegangen lige« ledes, selv om den normalt bestaar af 2 Løbere og 1 Binder. ners and at all the mould«bricks, the outer surface of the bricks is fluted after firing, with the flutings, as a rule, going obliquely from left to right, the natural direction, when in cutting the brick is held in the left hånd and the mallet in the right. This fluting, as is well«known, is very characteristic of the oldest Danish brick architecture, and, about the middle of the 13th century, was placed on the bricks before firing; by degrees it has passed out of fashion. The mortar used is of excellent quality, and is so hard that lime and brick form a uniform solid mass; as it is now of a whitish yellow color and quite heavy, mixed as it is with coarse sand, it has been a simple matter under restoration to distinguish the original masonry from that of later periods. The joints are usually thick, 2—2% cm and cut rather irregularly in ridges, as seen in Fig. 8, showing the original external wall, which has been preserved toward the sacristy. Investigations have shown that the walls everywhere on the inside, and presumably also on the outside, have been colored red with the joints whitened, which after restoration were visible in many places. Later, in our description of the interior of the church, we will re« turn to this point. The method is not unusual in Danish Romanesque brick churches and is by no means an unique feature of Kallundborg Church 2. The walls show that when the church was built the skill in brickdaying, gained in later years was wanting, not sur« prising so few years after the technical art of brick«laying had reached Denmark. Courses that overlap are often seen, the joints are very irregular, as is the bond, even though nor« mally this only consists of 2 stretchers and 1 header. The brick«layers have had much difficulty in keeping the courses horizontal. All those in the transepts, from the nave and out« wards sink, which cannot be due to settling on account of pressure of the towers, as all the vertical edges, — - those in the windows for instance, — are fairly plumb, though not at right angles to the courses. A more probable explanation is that the brick«layers, as was the custom in Danish buildings from the Middle Ages, followed the fall of the land. A closer examination of the walls, especially those inside the church, shows that the east transept, and especially the central part, was built, or at least begun, first, for in the north and south «m «no nliiiiuiu «111110 feMutu Hüll» M«uum ihiuiiuiimuimiwhu iwi Mliilll I'll UU0»HUI* Wil Iliiuw IU*DMniv «mut Wil l«0 mim IHM «BWIIB II« ww ugiuiif mi uunnmmiiua uuuu Muh mi ummww»mibimh mm hinw bum »w»mm«immnrnniwim»ww«r»*»«*w* . 1 ■ - INA »rø Clhin lirs mille MitI rø litium uunwV»i»»«i lun uIIIIIIIWilli Hin luiuu lilWOlîfflSjjiiW IHIHIIIIWIIihijiühiUuw nun»"n"»mi»»mnimmmmu >uiiWilli lullui iimDinniInlautmw“««il»)imkiouhihu«w EDDiim uiuui mil iumdIP muuui*mm ntuiuui tlitt Will iIlliIIili alt IIIBS)IUMillliunii11u amu uiinw iwuï ^s^ijniiiiiiiiiiiiitiii iiniii uiuiuiouioui'.Win wnniimiu UM Di Ul al II tiuuiu Ilillli tun«» Wie liliiiiiluaim BWIMW Ili'J j:ni-' uiimii iii»iin. an» niiniq M UHIlM MlWil IlliHi WÄill) "'“'uuiiii IMMSWIlHI Itllllll UUllUli J1IIIIIWilli|I|.1;!U]| lK!(JB(lllll!(Lb);iii:ilU wo um HniiliKUi.iin un .
