This was my favorite door - looks a bit like sundown on the ocean.
When you click on my pic, you will see this is a huge gate, wide enough to have a car go through.
And there is a smaller entrance-door in the middle.

Even the door to the public toilet looks great and unique.
Its just next to the old prison and the church - just in case you need it...
And someting that you will see all over Danmark : Toiletts are always well cleaned & free of charge !
(with a few exeptions in big cities, where homeless people would "live in the WC" the whole day, if there was no charge)

Great old doors are found all over Ribe, and most of them are kept well and repainted quite often in order to be admired by the many tourists.
Most of these doors were made in 17th-19th century.

It seemed to me, that all house-owners have a certain competition umong themselves, asking : Who has the most beautiful doors.
Simply walk all sidestreets around the church in order to not miss any of them !

I wonder what happened to this door ??
Was it planed that way or did it get that way by the many of years passed by ??
Anyway, it gives a very special character to the tiny little house in one of the sidestreets, leading to the river.
