1 review of Palace House Bishop (Orkney Islands- Stage 6b)

The best thing is the admission price

Next to the cathedral (as in other medieval locations) are the buildings that most represent the history of the city, such is the case of: The Palace of the Counts and the Bishop's Palace House. Today in ruins, its construction began in 1137, with the intention of moving the bishop from Birsay to Kirkwall, coinciding with the construction and foundation of the cathedral. Since then the bishops, representatives of the church in Orkney, have inhabited the palace. From what was the master bedroom of the bishop, observe the beautiful view of the cathedral. This closeness has historical explanation as only the bishop was empowered to give mass in the cathedral or to attend other important cathedral social events.

Apparently there is another identical mansion in Trondheim (Norway). The Diocese of Kirwall depended on the town in early medieval times. Currently, the best preserved is its external structure, walls, entrances and the outer circular tower. Stunning views of the cathedral from almost all parts of the building. Personally I think it could be better preserved. The best thing is the admission price to the Palace of the Counts.
