Aarhus Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Aarhus, Denmark

Built in Brick Gothic style with red bricks, the cathedral stretches 93 meters in length and reaches 96 meters into the Aarhus skyline.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1201, making it one of the oldest religious structures in Denmark that maintains regular religious services.

The cathedral holds 220 square meters of medieval frescoes painted between 1470 and 1520, representing Danish religious art from that period.

The cathedral offers guided tours in multiple languages, and visitors with mobility requirements should contact staff in advance for assistance.

The central altar, created by Bernt Notke, contains movable sections that display different religious scenes according to the liturgical calendar.
