Kannikegården, immediately south of the cathedral, was inaugurated in January 2016. It is named after an original monastery for the so-called canons, who in Catholic times constituted the major priesthood of the Church and their diverse functions – from celebrating masses to bookkeeping.

Extensive excavations from 2008 to 2013 revealed that Denmark's earliest known Christian burial site was located on this site.

In Kannikegården, you can visit the museum "The Early Christians" and view the excavated ruins of the original Kannikegård, where the walls of the dining hall have been preserved.
