Budolfi Cathedral
Budolfi Kirke
Aalborg's cathedral, whose white Gothic church and Baroque spire make it the landmark of the old town center, with an ornate Baroque pulpit and altar inside.
Budolfi Cathedral is dedicated to St. Botolph, the patron saint of English sailors. The main structure dates from around 1400. The white-walled, red-roofed Gothic building is topped by a Baroque-style spire added in the 17th and 18th centuries, and it forms the centerpiece of the old town skyline. Inside, you'll find an intricately carved Baroque pulpit and altarpiece, remnants of murals, and votive ship models hanging overhead. The tower chimes every hour. Entry is free, and there are Sunday morning services. The Stone House and Monastery of the Holy Ghost are right next door, so you can visit all three together.
Opening hours
Mon–Fri 09:00–16:00, Sat 09:00–14:00 (no visits during services)
