Description
(Local Name: Vor Frue Kirke) In Århus, northwest of the cathedral in Vestergade stands the Church of Our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke), built in the 13th-15th century. Originally part of a Dominican priory, it is now a purely Gothic building with frescoes and a magnificent altar-piece from the workshop of Claus Berg (1520).

In 1955, in the course of excavation work beneath the choir of the Church of Our Lady, a little church built of tuff stone was found. After careful restoration this old vaulted krypta is now a church within a church.

The chapter-house which served as an old people's hospital from the Reformation was also dedicated as a church, so there are now three churches in all. The chapter house is adorned with medieval wall paintings. Remains of the Gothic cloister of the former Dominican monastery have also been preserved.
