Aalborg - Church of Our Lady

 
On Niels Ebbesensgade in Alborg stands the Church of Our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke), one of the oldest churches in the town. Built about 1100 in granite blocks as a monastery church, it was completely altered in 1878. In the course of the rebuilding the original north door with its granite relief was placed at the main west entrance. In the tympanum can be seen two scenes from the Childhood of Christ surrounding a Majestas Domini (Christ in Majesty).

Inside the church, the 17th and 18th C. monuments, font, pulpit and a Late Gothic crucifix are all worthy of note.
