Haderslev Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Haderslev, Denmark
Description
Haderslev Cathedral is a brick Gothic structure with three tall naves united under one shared roof made of brick. The windows reach approximately 16 meters in height and fill the interior with natural light.
History
Construction began in 1270 using recycled materials from an older church on the site. The original transept is the only element surviving from this early building phase.
Culture
Four altar cloths and matching vestments were designed by Queen Margrethe II and display central Christian symbols and patterns. These pieces shape the visual character of the interior space today.
