A city in the middle of the Medway in the southeast of England, England. It is located about 40 km southeast of London, facing the lower reaches of the Medway, which flows into the estuary of the Thames. In Roman times, the main road from the port of the Strait of Dover to London was a key transportation point that crossed the Medway, so a Roman town surrounded by defensive walls was built and called Durobrivae. In 604, King Athelbert of Kent built St. Andrew's Cathedral, and after the bishopric was established, it developed as a religious center, and in the Middle Ages it was given many privileges. Since the mid-19th century, industry has developed, and factories for cement, paper, machinery, etc. have been established. In addition to the Norman castle and the late Gothic cathedral that still retains Norman style in some parts, many old buildings such as the workhouse (1579) and the guildhall (1687) are preserved. Population 27,125 (2001). Rochester |
イギリス,イングランド南東部,メドウェー中部の都市。ロンドンの東南東約 40kmにあり,テムズ川河口の三角江(エスチュアリー)に注ぐメドウェー川下流部に臨む。ローマ時代には,ドーバー海峡の港からロンドンへ通じる主要街道がメドウェー川を横切る交通の要地であったため,防壁をめぐらしたローマ人の町が建設され,ドゥロブリバエ Durobrivaeと呼ばれた。604年ケント王アゼルベルトにより聖アンドルー聖堂が建設され,司教座が置かれてから宗教中心地として発展,中世には多くの特権が与えられた。19世紀半ば以降工業が発達し始め,セメント,製紙,機械などの工場が立地する。ノルマン人の城,一部にノルマン様式を残す後期ゴシック様式の大聖堂のほか,救貧院(1579),ギルドホール(1687)などの古い建築物が数多く保存されている。人口 2万7125(2001)。
