Been to Sardinia and discovered this place called Burgos, absolutely amazing.
Some pics I took. It cannot

Heh, I went there a few years ago. Pretty nice place. There's a good restaurant with a splendid view in a hotel part-way up castle peak.
Wow, the place feels so isolated. Nice to hear that somebody visited it as well.
Okay actually after looking it up, I can't guarantee you that it's the same place - but it looks very, very similar at least. Sadly can't remember the name of the place we went to. Well, on the upside I can tell you that there might be a place on Sardinia that also has a castle on hill that looks pretty much like that, and it actually does have a pretty good restaurant with a splendid view.
Pseudo-edit:
Okay, after looking up some stuff on our old Facebook group for the trip, the town I'm thinking of is Posada:

I hope you can tell why I'd mistake one for the other. Tracked down the name of the town from a picture of the restaurant bill shared in the group. Oh well - you'll get that other town for yourself.
Both look extremely similar, awesome nontheless.
wait, when did alligator clip electical connectors become a generally accepted part of childhood? did i miss something? or is this a UK thing?
This is going over my head, what is it?
1990s nostalgia
"only 90s kids will remember this"
Oh
Did you not have science practical lessons
Pretty specifically british though.
it's a UK thing, we would always use them when we learning how electricity works. we had fun sticking the disconnected ones on our fingertips. hopefully they still use them
A lot of those things I grew up with in the 90s here in the US. I guess the few things I didn't recognize were the 100% UK things.

Construction started in 1921 and finished in 1940, both because of financial issues, but also because of high attention to detail in the brickwork. Every brick on the interior walls has been sanded by hand to provide a very smooth finish, for example.
Surprised it has chairs and not pews
It probably didn't have seating at all until fairly recently. The chairs add configurable seating without requiring permanent alterations to the structure as pews are typically bolted down.
What makes you think that (genuinely curious)? And do you permanent seating or seating at all? What would be the reason?
Anyway, according to Danish Wikipedia, the chairs were there since the inception. I found this old picture as well (supposedly a postcard):

Many older churches here (pre-1850s) did not originally have mass seating arrangements, but in modern times chairs are brought in so they don't have to bolt pews to the original floors. There is some religious reasoning for this but I don't know what it is off the top of my head. Regular old chairs being used in place of pews by design is odd.
Yeah I agree it's weird - I've biked past that church many a times, but never really looked in, didn't realise they didn't have benches.
I did some reading and it seems like the idea was that standing during church services was a way to prove that you're willing to subject yourself to discomfort to hear the word of God. During prayer, you'd kneel - but you spent the rest of the service on your feet. Church services also used to be more active and mobile. Reformation made church services both more static and longer, so seating began to be introduced. Many Catholic & Orthodox churches still don't have mass seating.
From what I did a quick search on, it seemed that absent pews were a thing because of a few reasons: Temple of Solomon had none, liturgical procedure was shorter and involved more movement, and building amass amount of pews were costly.
That last one I think is a bit absurd given how much time effort and money it takes to build an entire church building as it is.
Yeah that doesn't sound like something the Church of Denmark would be engaging in, but interesting nonetheless.

Cataclysmic is really the most appropriate word. Can't imagine the cleanup it'll take to remove all of it once cooled.
Part of me thinks it would be cool if they left a lot of it as is and built around it if they absolutely had to build there again. Obviously they'd have to cut through spots that went over vital roads and things.
