Sankt Olavs Kilde

English version scroll down

Sankt Olavs Kilde ligger helt ude til Østbyvej lige overfor Kildeskåret. Kilden er omgivet af nogle træer, et lille hegn og en gitterlåge hen over selve kilden. Desuden ses en navnesten og en gammel pengeblok.

Kilden er er såkaldt Helligkilde.
En helligkilde er en kilde, hvis vand i folketroen antoges at have helbredende virkning, når man drak det eller badede i det. Troen på helligkilder går tilbage til hedensk tid i både Grækenland og Italien, og i Norden er kildedyrkelse kendt siden bronzealderen. Under kristendommen blev kilderne indviet, som regel til bestemte helgener, og der fandtes helligkilder i næsten alle sogne i Danmark, men nogle regnedes for kraftigere end andre. Der var også bestemte tidspunkter, hvor kraften ansås for stærkest, ofte sankthansnat eller på den lokale helgens navnedag. For en del jyske kilder var også valborgaften et populært besøgstidspunkt. Omkring disse tidspunkter udviklede den store tilstrømning af mennesker sig til regulære kildemarkeder, der blev en fast tilbagevendende tradition. Fra en del kilder kendes den såkaldte kildepyntning, der med baggrund i hedensk skik bestod i, at man sankthansaften rensede kilden og udsmykkede den med grønne grene eller opførte en særlig kildehytte af løv. Indtagelse og afhentning af vand fra helligkilden var i lighed med de tilbagevende festligheder forbundet med særlige traditioner og skikke. Blandt andet var det udbredt at bringe et symbolsk offer ved at kaste en mønt i kilden.

Kigger du ned i kilden, ser du ikke en kilde fuld af vand, men en stentør bund. Det er svært at se at der her er tale om en gammel kilde, dog vidner de store træstubbe rundt om kilden om et gammelt og besøgt sted.
Det vides ikke med sikkerhed, hvorfor og hvornår kilden blev tørlagt, men måske skyldes det grusgravningen lige overfor.
Om vinteren når der er is på søerne, kan man tydeligt se 3 kildespring, der laver våger i isen. De 3 forbundne søer afvandes via 2 store betonrør og det er en væsentlig mængde vand der ledes ud i fjorden.

Sagnet fortæller at da Kong Olav den Hellige engang sejlede på Roskilde Fjord ud for Skuldelev Ås, sprang en troldkvinde frem og råbte: ” Sankt. Olav med dit røde skæg, du sejler for nær min kældervæg”. Skt. Olav blev vred og råbte tilbage: ”Hør du kælling med rok og ten, her skal du sidde og blive en sten”.

Og han satte sit skib så hårdt mod land at der blev en kløft i Skuldelev Ås hvor der sprang en kilde frem. Troldkællingen blev til sten.

Ved Sankt Olavs kilde blev der afholdt kildemarkeder indtil midten af 1800-tallet.

Hele området omkring åsen blev fredet i 1951, med offentlig adgang. Området bærer præg af tidligere tiders grusgravning.

På området ved søerne er der både borde/bænke og en shelter med bålplads.

English version:

The spring of Saint Olaf is situated next to the road of Østbyvej just across from the road of Kildeskåret. The spring is surrounded by a few trees. There is a low fence and a grid that covers the spring itself. Furthermore there is a rock stating the name of the spring as well as an old money collector.

The spring is a so-called holy spring.
A holy spring is a spring in which the water according to popular belief was to have a curative effect if you drank or swam in it. The belief in holy springs goes back to pagan times in both Greece and Italy, and in Scandinavia worshipping of springs has been known of since the Bronze Age. During the introduction of Christianity the springs were dedicated to certain saints, and almost all parishes in Denmark had holy springs, some considered more healing than others. The curative effect was also considered more powerful at different periods of times, often Midsummer Eve and on the name day for the particular saint. For several springs in Jutland, the Walpurgis night was also a common time for visits. Around these days, the large amounts of people coming to the springs would develop into actual spring markets that became a recurrent tradition. From some springs we know of the so-called spring decoration which according to pagan customs consisted of cleaning the spring on Midsummer Eve and decorating it with green branches or the erection of a special spring hut made of foliage. Drinking and collecting the water from a holy spring was similar to the recurrent festivities connected to special traditions and customs. Among other things it was common to make a symbolic sacrifice by dropping a coin into the spring.

If you look into the spring today, it is not full of water but bone dry. It is difficult to tell that this is an old spring, though the large logs around the spring indicate that it was formerly a very frequently visited place.
It is not known with certainty why and when the spring dried out but it might be due to the gravel pit right across from the spring.
In winter when the lakes freeze, 3 fountainheads are clearly visible making openings in the ice. The 3 connected lakes are drained via 2 big concrete pipes, and it is quite a large amount of water being led into the Roskilde Inlet.

According to the legend, King Olaf the Holy once sailed through the Roskilde Inlet, and just off the Skuldelev Ridge a witch jumped out and yelled: "Saint Olaf with the red beard, you’re sailing too close to my basement wall". Saint Olaf angrily yelled back: "Listen you witch with your spinning wheel and spindle, you are to sit here and become a rock".

And then he forced his ship so hard against land that a gorge was made in the Skuldelev Ridge from where the spring started trickling. The witch became a rock.

Spring markets were held at the spring of Saint Olaf up until the mid-19th century.

The entire area around the ridge was preserved in 1951 with public access. The area shows signs of the former extraction of gravel.

By the lakes there is both tables/benches and a shelter with place for a bonfire.
