Viborg Cathedral

Viborg's Church of Our Lady is a masterpiece of Neo-Romanesque architecture.
It is no ordinary church – it is the magnificent cathedral of the Evangelical Lutheran Diocese of Viborg and is considered an architectural gem in Denmark.
Originally built between 1120 and 1180, it was destroyed several times by fire (including in 1501) and most recently rebuilt in the Neo-Romanesque style in 1876.
It was built as a cruciform church with two west towers, two east towers, a choir, side aisles, and a crypt.
It has an impressive granite structure and is the largest granite church in the world.
Colorful frescoes and murals adorn the interior and tell biblical stories.

Viborg Cathedral was built between 1120 and 1180 and has suffered major fires three times. The first time was in 1501, the second time in 1567, and again in 1726. Due to the poor renovation after the last fire, the cathedral was torn down and rebuilt in its original Romanesque style between 1863 and 1876. The original crypt beneath the choir dates back to 1120 and was preserved. The paintings by the artist Joakim Skovgaard date from 1901 to 1906. Viborg Cathedral is open to visitors year-round. There is no access during religious events.
