Ålborg - Vesterbro
Vesterbro, running north to south, forms the western boundary of the Old Town of Ålborg. In this street can be seen two notable sculptures: at the end of Bispegade is the "Cimbrian Bull" (Cimbrertyren, 1937) by A. J. Bundgård with a poem by the Nobel Prizewinner Johannes V. Jensen (1873-1950) on the plinth. Further south is the statue of the "Goose Girl" (Gåsepigen) by Gerhard Henning (1937). On Vesterbro, too, stands St Ansgar's Church.
