St. Catherine's Priory, Dominican monastery in Ribe, Denmark

The monastic complex features three aisles, Gothic architectural elements, and substantial cellars beneath the southern section of the building complex.

Founded in 1228 by Dominican friars, the priory expanded significantly in the early 14th century during Ribe's period of economic growth.

The priory served as an educational center where Dominican friars conducted teachings and maintained a connection with the local cathedral school.

The building complex now functions as a museum, allowing visitors to explore the medieval architecture and learn about monastic life in Denmark.

The structure represents Denmark's most complete remaining monastic building complex, featuring original elements from different construction periods.
