St. Catherine's Priory, Medieval church in Ribe, Denmark

St. Catherine's Priory features a combination of Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, with three distinctive towers and five naves after side chapel additions.

The church underwent substantial modifications during the Lutheran Reformation in 1536, when Catholic decorations and altars were removed from the interior spaces.

Danish composer Rued Langgaard served as the church organist from 1939 to 1952, contributing to the musical legacy of this religious institution.

The church maintains regular religious services and functions as the central parish church for over 3,000 members of the local Lutheran community.

The Commoner's Tower, reaching 53 meters in height, served as a defensive structure for the city of Ribe since its construction in 1283.
