Endless Connection Fountain
Highlight • Monument
It's fun to look at the fountain from a safe distance. But it is also an experience to look at the harbor from the center of the fountain through the walls of water.
The large, unusual fountain was designed by the Danish artist Jeppe Hein. It consists of changing patterns, inspired by the starry sky over Aarhus.

The Pod by Aarhus Cathedral
Highlight • Structure
The first known Bischoff, Reginbrand, was mentioned in 948. It is believed that in his time there was a wooden church in the Viking city of Árós (Århus), which was located in approximately the same place as the current church.
The construction of today's church began in the 1190s. It was a Romanesque basilica with two towers that were never completed. In 1330 a fire destroyed the roof structure, but the Romanesque church existed unchanged until around 1420, when extensive reconstruction was initiated. This resulted in today's Gothic cathedral with a tower.
Particularly worth seeing is the altar, which was made by Bernt Notke's workshop in Lübeck and was inaugurated in 1479. The Renaissance-style pulpit dates from 1588 and was probably made by the Dutch carpenter Mikkel van Groningen. The baptismal font, which is made of Einsenerz, was created in 1481 by the bell founder Peter Hansen in Flensburg.
