One of my favourite buildings in the world is Aarhus Cathedral. Inside, it is beautifully light and airy with some very psychedelic pre-reformation frescoes (take a look at the mural of the snake-necked, peg leg guy below). It is dedicated to St. Clement, the sailors' saint and also has a model ship that was washed ashore after being commissioned by Peter the Great of Russia from the Dutch. Awesome.
The only down side about Aarhus Domkirke is that the bells are spectacularly noisy and always wake me up early when I stay in Aarhus. Serves me right for being hungover on the Sabbath, I guess...

Absolutely stunning. I love the sound of bells.
Thanks so much! I'm usually more positive about bells when I'm not hungover!
