Viborg - Asmild Church

On the east side of town, on the other side of the bridge across the Norreso and Sonderso, lie the remains of Asmild Church (ca. 1100), of which only the walls survive. In the late 12th C. it was given to an Augustinian nunnery which was then situated to the south of the church but of which nothing now remains. Bishop Eskild of Viborg was murdered in front of the High Altar in 1132. The gallery, with portraits of Danish kings, the carved reredos and the pulpit of 1625 are all worthy of note, as is the runic stone in the vestibule.
