A view of Ribe from the top of the Cathedral's 52m-tall Commoner's Tower, which once doubled as a lookout station for floods. On a clear day one is said to be able to see as far as the city of Esbjerg and the North Sea islands of Rømø, Mandø, and Fanø.

Ribe Cathedral or Our Lady Maria Cathedral (Danish: Ribe Domkirke or Vor Frue Maria Domkirke) is located in the ancient city of Ribe, on the west coast of southern Jutland, Denmark. It was founded in the Viking Age as the first Christian church in Denmark by a missionary monk from Hamburg, under permission of the pagan King Horik I. The cathedral has experienced several damaging events throughout its long history and has been restored, expanded and decorated repeatedly. As it stands today, Ribe Cathedral is the best preserved Romanesque building in Denmark, but reflects a plethora of different architectural styles and artistic traditions. It ranks amongst the biggest tourist attractions in Denmark and has been awarded two stars in the Michelin guide.
The interior of Ribe's Cathedral, the oldest in Denmark, dating back to at least 948. In the background the colourful modern frescoes, mosaics and stained glass decorating the apse can be seen. The apse was redecorated by COBRA artist Carl Henning Pedersen, a very controversial project that was settled after a public exhibition with the proposed artwork. The feedback from 10000 visitors, including visitors and the citizens of Ribe, was in favor of the proposed redecoration and the project was thus accepted by the local parish council.

The first stone cathedral, was begun by Bishop Thur in 1110 and stood completed in 1134. Tufa stone was imported from Germany to build the permanent structure, as stone was a scarce resource around Ribe. The cathedral was built in the Romanesque style, with half-rounded arches supporting a flat timber ceiling, a typical basilica style building, patterned after churches in northern Germany.
The troubled and eventful history of Ribe Cathedral is evident both in its exterior and its interior, which combine a plethora of different architectural styles and artistic traditions. Ribe Cathedral is the oldest and best preserved Romanesque building in Denmark, and the only five-aisled cathedral in the country, following numerous alterations and later additions.

A view towards the so-called Commoner's Tower of Ribe Cathedral, which is one of the most important cathedrals in Denmark and supposedly built at the same site as the very first scandinavian church (which dates back to around 860 and was built by Ansgar, an Archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen at the time). The first stone church at the site was built between 1110 and 1134). The cathedral as well as the town of Ribe itself, has a very interesting history.
12-second exposure (guessed at EV12) on FP4+ with my Agfa ISOLA Pinhole camera (f/154) and developed in DD-X 1+4.
There was something strange about this (possibly) late medieval fresco in Ribe's Domkirke, but I couldn't find any extra information about it!

This is a detail from Kathoveddøren (The Cats' Head Portal), Ribe Domkirke, Denmark.
The romanesque cathedral in Ribe is fantastic with architecture and ornamentation from many periods. We always visit the church when we are in Ribe.
The Cats' Head Portal is the southern portal. The portal is from late 12th century, but the bronze door is from early 20th century. The artist is Anne Marie Carl Nielsen.
Of course Knud had to pose on one of the heads.
Pieces of Ribe's Cathedral and the buildings on Torvet street surrounding it, as seen from the top of the 52m-tall Commoner's Tower of the Cathedral. The Commoner's Tower was originally 62 meters high, capped by a copper "Rhenish helmet" including a narrow spire on top. However, after partially collapsing in 1594, the tower was rebuilt 10 meters lower, and with no money to add any kind of spire it remained flat-topped.
Three views of Denmarks oldest town from Fanø. Its silhouette catches the eye. It's a 20km (11 miles) distance, the tower of the domkirke being 52 m tall. This view has been practically unchanged for nearly 800 years.
