Sankt Catharinæ Kirke is a cruciform church (dedicated to Saint Catharina of Alexandria). It is the largest church in Hjørring and is located near the old town square. It consists of a late Romanesque core of bricks, but is dominated by later changes and additions. These are the late Gothic choir in the east, the sacristy in the north, the chapel in the south, the tower in the west (mid-15th century) and the wooden north wing (today the main nave) from 1924-26 with a veranda in the north on the east side.
