Viborg Cathedral

The cathedral exhibits Romanesque Revival architecture with two 42-meter western towers topped by pyramidal spires and features brick and granite construction throughout its structure.

The original cathedral from 1130 underwent multiple reconstructions due to fires, with the current building completed in 1876 following a national fundraising campaign.

Between 1901 and 1906, painter Joakim Skovgaard created extensive biblical frescoes inside the cathedral, depicting scenes from Adam and Eve to the apocalypse.

The cathedral provides space for 800 to 1000 people during special events and contains a crypt that functions as a meditation room with six granite columns.

The building represents Denmark's largest granite church construction, setting it apart from other cathedrals that typically used different building materials.
