Om Jyske BankAnton Rosens Kapel i Silkeborg får nyt livAnton Rosens Kapel ved Silkeborg Hospital har det ikke alt for godt. Kapellet blev opført i 1902 samtidig med det oprindelige hospital, men bygningen er for længst blevet for lille og har derfor ikke været brugt - eller vedligeholdt - i en årrække. Anton Rosens Kapel er af Slots- og Kulturstyrelsen vurderet bevaringsværdig – blandt andet på grund af arkitekt Anton Rosens plads i dansk arkitektur. Derudover rummer murstenene på mange historier. Det var eksempelvis her, at Kaj Munk (dansk præst og dramatiker, der blev skudt af Gestapo i 1944) lå inden begravelsen i Vedersø.Derfor har...2022-05-2501 min
