Beautiful cathedral

I was living in Aarhus for a few months and when I visited the cathedral, I was shocked because it was much nicer than I expected. I especially liked the fact that it was not as ostentatious as some of the Spanish churches and cathedrals (we assume that they are Protestants, of course) . The surrounding area is also worth visiting and getting to know, especially the pedestrian streets and a Klostertorvet Plaza are the most beautiful in the city.

The Church of the recrds.

La Iglesia de los recórds.

La catedral de Aarhus comenzó siendo una iglesia, dedicada a San Clemente, cuya construcción terminó en el 1.300, con un estilo típicamente románico. Treinta años después sufrió un incendio que la condenó al abandono hasta finales del siglo XIV, en que fue reconstruida, ya como catedral, con el aspecto gótico actual. Abrió sus puertas en el 1.500. La curiosidad es que ostenta varios récords en Dinamarca: Sus 93 m de largo, la convierten en la iglesia más larga; los 96 m de altura, hasta el capitel, la hacen también la más alta; pero también es la iglesia de ladrillo más antigua; tiene la mayor cantidad de frescos, el órgano más grande, y su tríptico es el mayor tesoro medieval del país. Pero, recórds aparte, también posee un fascinante fresco que retrata todos los tormentos del purgatorio, o el impresionante sepulcro de la familia Marselis. La oficina de la catedral ofrece visitas guiadas, previa reserva, y ofrece la posibilidad de subir a la torre. Hacen reservas para actos especiales para grupos. También acoge varios conciertos al año.

Aarhus Cathedral began as a church dedicated to San Clemente, which was completed in 1300, with a typically Roman. Thirty years later, a fire sentenced to drop until the end of the fourteenth century, it was rebuilt as a cathedral, with the current gothic look. It opened its doors in 1500. The curiosity is that holds several records in Denmark: Its 93 meters long, making it the longest church, the 96 m high, to the capital, making it also the highest, but also the oldest brick church , has the largest number of frescoes, the largest organ, and his triptych is the largest medieval treasure of the country. But records aside, it also has a fascinating fresco that portrays all the torments of purgatory, or the impressive Marselis family tomb. Cathedral office offers guided tours, by reservation, and provides the ability to climb the tower. Make reservations for special events for groups. It also hosts several concerts a year.
