Domkirkepladsen 1

This protected building features porphyry stone facades with Nexø sandstone decorative elements and a verdigris green copper roof, showcasing historicist architecture that blends English Baroque with Italian Renaissance influences.

Originally constructed in 1926 as a Bank of Denmark branch designed by architect Axel Berg, the building replaced an earlier banking facility established in 1837 and has served the financial sector for nearly a century.

Registered on Denmark's national heritage registry since 1996, the building preserves original marble flooring, mahogany doors, and stucco ceilings that reflect early 20th-century architectural craftsmanship and banking institution design traditions.

Currently operated by Nykredit bank after extensive renovation by C. F. Møller Architects in 1990, the building remains accessible to visitors exploring Aarhus's central historic district near the cathedral.

Archaeological excavations beneath the structure have revealed Viking Age and medieval church remnants, indicating continuous historical significance at this site spanning over a millennium of Danish history.
