The exact age of the Black Brethren Church and the monastery is unknown, but among the first Dominican monasteries in Denmark, Aarhus (1227) and Ribe (1228) are mentioned. It is assumed that the Black Brethren Church and the monastery were founded at the same time as the monastery in Aarhus.

The greatest disaster ever to strike the Black Brethren Church was undoubtedly the city fire of June 25, 1726. An accident during beer brewing on a farm in Nørretorv sparked the fire, which spread rapidly from house to house. No fewer than 71 farms, 78 houses, and stables fell victim to the flames, and when the fire was extinguished after a few days, 215 families were left homeless.

The cathedral and the Black Brethren Church burned down completely, and extensive restoration work had to be initiated.

Two years after the fire, the Black Brethren Church was consecrated and reopened on June 25, 1728.
