  I grew up in Aarhus, so....this cathedral has always been a point of return. As a kid we had Christmas celebrations here with my school class. As an adult I have used the Church for meditations during my lunchbreak. And I was married there. Enjoy the great art. Enjoy the peace. Enjoy the longest Church in northern Europe....and I know....I have walked down the aisle. And if you have the opportunity....enjoy a concert with the beautiful organ. Or just a sunday sermon....

  Yes, a nice cathedral in an old square with several picturesque buildings, worth seeing and/or walking around.

  Beautiful Church and interesting history - ask to hear about the burial chamber on the left when you enter the hall - the tower is defiantly worth the exercise!

  The buliding is not overly ornate on the outside. However, the interior is immaculate. The murals and artworks are beautiful. The altar is beautiful and modestly decorated. There was a service during my visit right in the semi-enclosed area so I got to listen to the hymns accompanied by organ. The only stained glass window is behind the altar. The windows along the nave are translucent so the church looks brighter. The old wooden pews and lectern are intricate. Do check out the rooms on the sides.

  Oddly positioned massive church at the end of a very large square. Take a couple of minutes to call in, regardless of your religion. It is quite stunning on the inside but is also very peaceful.

  Aarhus Domkirke is a lot more attractive inside than out. At 93m long it is the longest church in the country and also boasts the tallest spire. The whitewashed walls of the interior and the high windows make it incredibly bright inside. It is wonderful spacious and cool, perfect sanctuary if you visit on a baking hot summers day. The simplicity of the white walls is broken a couple of times by some beautifully colourful frescoes dating back to the late 1400's. The church is dedicated to St Clement, the patron saint of sailors. Look out for the votive ship hanging from the ceiling. It was brought over from Russia by boat and somehow floated to shore while its parent boat was wrecked.

  This is an exceptional piece of architecture, the oldest parts of which are nearing 1000 years. With tombs, exceptional art, and the tallest building (by law) in what is arguably the oldest permanent settlement in Denmark, this is a very worthwhile, free stop -- one where you can 30 minutes to an hour, then go to the adjacent performing arts theater, or a Viking Museum only about 200 feet away, or similarly close Danish Occupation (World War II) Museum or Danish Women's Museum ... or eat at any of the many restaurants along the river walk or at -- my favorite restaurant -- Mackie's Pizza, with its exceptional assortment of pizza, burgers, nachos and more that will remind many of a more primitive, more natural "Hard Rock Cafe" - with lots of rock n' roll and sports memorabilia and the best pizza in Denmark.So much to see and do in the heart of Aarhus, a very compact and walkable city.

  At 93m long Aarhus Domkirke is the longest church in Denmark. It also boasts the country's tallest spire. It doesn't look very attractive from the outside but the interior is beautiful in its simplicity. It is whitewashed throughout and has soaring plain windows which flood the place with light. Under a couple of the arches you find some stunning medieval frescoes dating back to the late 1400's. There is also a small model ship to look for, The cathedral is dedicated to St Clemens, the patron saint of sailors.
