    Aarhus Cathedral (Skt. Clemens Church) is the longest and tallest church building in Denmark (93 meters long and 96 meters high). The cathedral is the main church in the diocese of Aarhus (Aarhus Stift).
    The first known Bischoff, Reginbrand, was mentioned in 948. It is believed that in his time there was a wooden church in the Viking city of Árós (Århus), which was located in approximately the same place as the current church.
    The construction of today's church began in the 1190s. It was a Romanesque basilica with two towers that were never completed. In 1330 a fire destroyed the roof structure, but the Romanesque church existed unchanged until around 1420, when extensive reconstruction was initiated. This resulted in today's Gothic cathedral with a tower.
    Particularly worth seeing is the altar, which was made by Bernt Notke's workshop in Lübeck and was inaugurated in 1479. The Renaissance-style pulpit dates from 1588 and was probably made by the Dutch carpenter Mikkel van Groningen. The baptismal font, which is made of Einsenerz, was created in 1481 by the bell founder Peter Hansen in Flensburg.

        St. Clement's Church in Aarhus, also known as Aarhus Cathedral, is the largest religious building
        in the Danish city of Aarhus. The cathedral dates back to 1500 and seats 1,200 worshippers.
        The magnificent church is made of brick-red bricks, which contrast interestingly
        with the pastel green roofs. The oldest bell in Aarhus's church tower dates back to the 13th century. The impressive church tower only reached its imposing height of 93 meters in 1920, having been restored due to a lightning strike in the mid-17th century. This makes the tower exactly as high as Aarhus Cathedral is long, making it the tallest and longest church in all of Denmark.


        The church tower can be visited and offers a fantastic view of Aarhus.
