Aarhus Theatre

Highlight • Monument

The Aarhus Teater in Aarhus is the largest provincial theater in Denmark. The current theater was built at the end of the 19th century to replace the old theater, which had been nicknamed Svedekassen (The Sweathouse). As Aarhus had grown into Jutland's largest city during the 19th century, the old theater had become too small to meet public demand. A new building was designed by the Danish architect Hack Kampmann (1856-1920), and construction began on August 12, 1898. Just two years later, the Aarhus Theater was completed and inaugurated on September 15, 1900.

Salling Rooftop Terrace & View of Aarhus

The Salling Rooftop is a roof terrace with a café and a urban oasis on the roof of the Salling department store in the centre of Aarhus. On top of the roof, 25 meters above the pedestrianised high street 'Strøget', you can step out on a glass platform – if you dare! – and enjoy marvellous views of Aarhus from above from new and spectacular angles

The Pod by Aarhus Cathedral

Highlight • Structure

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.
