Viborg
Pop 38,600

Viborg Domkirke CHURCH
( www.viborgdomkirke.dk ; Sankt Mogens Gade 4; admission Dkr10;
11am-5pm Mon-Sat, noon-5pm
Sun May-Aug, until 3pm Sep-Apr)
The striking, twin-towered cathedral is equally impressive inside and out, with frescoes,
painted over five years (1908-13) by artist Joakim Skovgaard, evocatively portraying the
story of the Protestant bible. In 1876 the cathedral was almost entirely rebuilt, becoming
the largest granite church in Scandinavia (an enduring claim to fame). The crypt is all that
survives from its birth date of 1100.
