shopping streets and beautiful buildings, ranging
from the Middle Ages to present-day architectural
jewels.

Århus has several fascinating museums. Among the
best known are the art museum, Aros, and The Old
City with its fantastic recreation of an old market
town.

The area around Århus has many and varied
attractions: great natural beauty, old manors and
exciting entertainment parks for children of all ages
to mention but a few.

Have a nice trip!

Historical outline
Historical outline

Århus goes back to the Viking Era. Remnants of
houses, workshops and rune stones dating back to
the 10th century have been found, and the place was
mentioned for the first time by Adam of Bremen in
948.

During the Viking Era, the city was surrounded by
earthworks and a moat, and the small river, Århus Å,
had a vital function as inner harbour.

The city’s original name, Aros, means “mouth” of a
stream or river.

Construction of what is today Århus Cathedral was
begun in 1201 on the outskirts of the original town.
It was founded by Peder Vognsen, a friend of
Bishop Absalon.

The construction of the Cathedral marked the
beginning of Århus’ first large expansion, and it
played a large role in the everyday life of the city
until the Reformation. Despite various setbacks

during the centuries following the initiation of the
Cathedral’s construction, the city continued its
progress, not least due to the monasteries.

Around 1300, Århus flourished, which lead to large
expansions, such as its first city hall, which was built
next to the Cathedral.

Århus’ growth in size as well as population
continued during the 15th century, and the city
achieved municipal charter in 1441.

In 1477, King Christian I agreed to civilian
development on Århus’ earthworks to ensure the
city’s continued growth. The permission was easily
obtained because the earthworks had lost their
military importance at that point.

After the Reformation in 1536,
Århus’ merchant
class exerted increasing influence on the
government and development of the city.

The 17
th
century was a period of foreign aggression.
The city was attacked in 1627-1629, and in 1644
and again in 1657-1659 the Swedes ravaged the
region. In addition to the attacks, extortionate taxes
were levied.

Despite the attacks and a plague epidemic
Århus’
trade continued to flourish during the 17
th
century.
Primary markets apart from Denmark and Norway
included Lübeck, Amsterdam, England, France and
Spain. The merchant fleet consisted of around 100
vessels at this high point.

Commerce declined in the first half of the 17
th

century and Århus’ economy got worse, as was the
case for many other Danish cities. The merchant
fleet was halved, and many trade markets were lost.
In 1769 the population was 3,500.

During the early industrialization of Århus, small
industries and workshops were founded on the old
merchant estates in the Mejlgade quarter, which had
been in existence from early on.

In the 19
th
century, Århus started growing more
rapidly. By 1850, it had overtaken Randers and
Ålborg and become Jutland’s largest city. The
sprawling city centre included the present-day

railway station, and many impressive houses and
institutions were built, for instance on Søndergade.

In 1847, large-scale development of the harbour
areas was begun. The work was finished in 1861,
and Jutland’s first railroad, between Århus and
Randers, stood ready the year after, cementing
Århus’ position as the most important city in the
area.

Historical outline
Cultural development followed the economic upturn.
Århus Theatre was founded on the initiative of a
group of local theatre enthusiasts. The construction
was ambitious for the size of the city, but it served to
emphasize Århus’ leading role as the second-largest
city in Denmark.

Århus continued to grow during the first half of the
20
th
century, and the city is still characterized by its
active student and research communities that
followed the establishment of various educational

institutions.

Today Århus’ population is approximately 300,000,
and the city has maintained its position as Jutland’s
business centre. The cultural development has also
continued: The Market town museum, The Old
City is unique, and with the addition of the Music
House and a museum of modern art, ARoS, Århus
has plenty of options for the visitor.

4. Århus Å/Århus Stream
Åboulevarden
In the Viking Era, Århus Stream by St Clemen’s
Bridge was used as a harbour. Later, when the ships
got too large for the stream, the harbour was moved
to the inlet. In the 1930s, the stream was covered by

the new street,

plan to reduce the number of cars in the city, the
stream was later uncovered again, and it is now an
atmospheric place with various stalls located along
the water.

5. Vikingemuseet/The Viking Museum

in the Gothic Cathedral, which was built in its stead
and regularly extended until 1520.

The Cathedral is, with 93 metres, Denmark’s
longest. The spire is also 93 metres, and it is
possible to ascend it.

The cathedral has an interesting altarpiece from
1479, made by Bernt Notke of Lübeck, as well as
Denmark’s largest collection of murals. Many of the
early murals were lost during the Reformation, but
the extant pieces include a 220 m2 mural. The
murals are all from the period 1470-1520 except
one from the 14th century Roman church, whose
theme is leprosy.

Marselisborg is named in honour of Constantin
Marselis, who established Marselisborg Barony on
the land that King Frederik III in 1661 gave to
Constantin’s father, the Dutch merchant Gabriel

Marselis.

28. Rosenholm Slot/Rosenholm Castle
Rosenholmvej 119, Hornslet, 25 kilometres
North
www.rosenholmslot.dk
Rosenholm Castle north of Århus is one of Jutland’s
finest Renaissance buildings.

The Manor House was built in red monk-bricks on a
granite fundament in the last half of the 16th century.

Rosenholm was influenced by the Dutch
Renaissance, via buildings such as Holmen Church
in Copenhagen, and the yard has elements of Italian
Loggia style.

The exquisitely furnished Rosenholm, is primarily
the result of Iver Rosenkranz’s renovations in the
1730s and 1740.

Rosenholm’s Baroque Garden is very beautiful, and
it has Denmark’s oldest pavilion, Pirkentavl, from
the 1560s.

29. Skaføgård
Skaføgårdsvej 19, Mørke, 30 kilometres
Northeast
Rosenholm’s owner, Jørgen Rosenkrantz, had
Skaføgård built on an islet with a wide moat. Among
the later additions is the gate building from ca. 1600.

Skaføgård has had several different owners. The
latest change of hands was in 1852 when J.B.S.
Estrup, who later would become Prime Minister of
Denmark, bought Skaføgård from Jørgen Mørch
Secher’s widow, whose family had owned Skaføgård
since 1797.

30. GL. Estrup/Old Estrup
Randers 4, Auning, 40 kilometres Northeast
www.gl-estrup.dk
Old Estrup was built around 1590 in Gothic
Renaissance style on the foundation of Lave Brok’s
dilapidated water castle from 1441.

Later additions include the octagonal towers from
the 1620s. From 1625 to 1926 Old Estrup was
owned by the Scheel family. When the estate
changed hands, the furniture was sold, but much of
it has since been bought back by the museum,
founded in 1930. The rooms are kept as they were
in the 16th-17th century. The Hall with its Flemish
tapestries and the Blue Tower Room with painted
draperies are among the most interesting features
on Old Estrup.

The large farm buildings house Denmark’s
Agricultural Museum, which offers excellent insight
into daily farm life, past and present. It has large
collections of agricultural tools, and traditional
Danish domestic animals are kept in the fields.

31. Clausholm Slot/Clausholm Castle
Clausholmvej 208, Voldum, 30 kilometres North
www.clausholm.dk
Clausholm Castle from 1693-1699 is one of
Denmark’s best preserved Baroque castles. It was
built by Grand Chancellor Conrad Reventlow, who
also started laying out the beautiful garden, which
was not finished in its present form, including
fountains and terraces, until 1976.

Clausholm is located in simple surroundings,
encircled by water, but the interior is magnificent,
especially in the gorgeous halls of the central section.
The Garden Hall and the Queen’s Antechamber, the
Black Hall has some of Northern Europe’s most
impressive Stucco work. Most of the furnishing of
the castle took place in the 18
th
century under King
Frederik IV. The exquisite contents, including
paintings, tapestries and furniture, represent the last
300 years.

Clausholm also has a small blue-marbled chapel
from 1731-1734, furnished by Anne Sophie
Reventlow.

To the south of the garden’s cascades and facilities
stands the half-timbered farm building from 1686.

32. Moesgård
Moesgård Allé 20, 8 kilometres South
www.moesmus.dk
Moesgård, built in Classicistic style in 1780-1784,
lies to the south of Århus. The previous three-
winged complex was situated a little further to the
south than the present one. Moesgård has since
1964 functioned as a prehistoric museum, depicting
Denmark’s, particularly Jutland’s, ancient history.
Outside lie the Baroque Garden, the Monument
Park and several old burial mounds.

Of the many fascinating finds on display at
Moesgård Museum, the Grauballe Man is perhaps
the most famous. The Grauballe Man is the best
preserved bog body in the world. He was found in a
bog near the town of Grauballe in 1952, and is
thought to have lived in the Iron Age between the
2
nd
and 3
rd
centuries.

Ebeltoft on Mols is known for its beautiful location
and atmospheric city centre with the old City Hall
and its dungeons from 1576. Many visitors to
Ebeltoft come to see the Frigate Jylland (Jutland),
which is a well-preserved battleship from the Battle
of Helgoland in 1864. The ship was launched in
1860 and made several voyages to the West Indies.
In the 1870s the frigate was made a royal yacht,
which in 1876 conveyed the Danish Royal Couple
to St Petersburg. In 1908, Jylland was retired from
the Danish Navy and sold to the ship breaker, but
fortunately it was saved from this fate and restored.
Since 1960, it has been laying at Ebeltoft.

www.sns.dk/fortidsm/netpub/kaloe/indhold.htm
Kalø Castle was a fortress built by King Erik
Menved in 1313. The Castle was for a period used as
prison, and among its prominent prisoners was
Gustav Vasa in 1518. The beckoning landscape
around Kalø Castle Ruin makes for lovely hikes.

36. Thorsager Rundkirke/Thorsager
Round Church
Thorsgade, Thorsager, 31 kilometres Northeast
www.thorsager-bregnet.dk/thorsager_kirke.htm
The Round Church in Thorsager is one of only
seven medieval churches in Denmark, and it is the
only one in Jutland. The Church is thought to have

been built by the Absalon Family around 1200. It is
West Denmark’s first monk-brick building, and it
was used as refuge when the town was attacked
from the sea (Thorsager lay by an inlet at that time).
