About this tour
This session walks Aarhus Cathedral, Denmark's longest and tallest parish church. You see the scale of the nave and a section of medieval frescoes uncovered during restoration. Katrine explains the building's long history of extensions and changes.
The session moves at a measured pace given the building's acoustics, covering two points inside. Katrine answers questions about the cathedral's history and the frescoes.
This suits anyone interested in religious architecture or medieval art. It pairs well with her session on the cathedral's tower.
