Witness the cherished role of seafaring in Danish culture with a visit to Aarhus’ main church. The Aarhus Cathedral dates back to the 12th century and is dedicated to St. Clemens, the patron saint of sailors. At 305 feet (93 meters) long and 315 feet (96 meters) high, the cathedral is both the longest and tallest church in Denmark. The church is known for its long history. Explore its interior to find a number of fascinating attractions. A large collection of frescos, the church altar and a suspended model sailing ship are among the highlights of a visit to the Aarhus Cathedral. Join a guided tour to learn the stories behind the cathedral. Tours are conducted in both English and Danish, but bookings are necessary. Follow your guide as you’re shown the intricate designs of the church altar. It was carved by the famous German sculptor, Bernt Notke, and includes images from the Old and New Testaments. Look up to see the model ship that floats above the central aisle. It is common in this seafaring nation to hang a wooden ship inside a church as a remembrance of those lost at sea. The beautifully constructed model was said to have washed ashore after the ship on which it was being carried sank in 1720. A series of gates separate sections of the church, including the stunning Golden Door, a golden wrought iron gate. Continue past the large bell tower to reach the baroque pipe organ, the largest in Denmark. Aarhus Cathedral is still in operation. Visitors wishing to join a mass are welcome. The cathedral is located in central Aarhus and can easily be reached on foot. It is two blocks from the Skolebakken metro station, and there is some street parking in the area. Admission to the church is free, although a fee applies for tours. The church is open daily. ## Plan a trip to see Aarhus Cathedral Price found within the past 48 hours.

(762 reviews) Great self service hotel! Provided lovely breakfast. Good value for Aarhus, it is out of the centre which likely contributes to the lower price. But we didn’t mind this! It’s a quiet peaceful area out of the hustle and bustle, then about 20-30 mins into the centre via bus. An unconventional way to do it, but it works!
