Aarhus Cathedral
Aarhus Domkirke
Denmark's longest and tallest church, with the largest area of medieval wall paintings in Northern Europe and Denmark's largest organ.
Construction of Aarhus Cathedral began at the end of the 12th century. Its surviving Gothic structure is about 93 metres long, and its spire rises roughly 96 metres, making it Denmark's longest and tallest church. Inside, around 220 square metres of medieval wall paintings survive. The altarpiece was made by 15th-century craftsmen from Lübeck, and the organ is the largest in Denmark. Entry is free. The cathedral stands on a central city-centre square, and it is easy to continue on foot into the Latin Quarter.
