Vor Frue Kirke - Church of Our Lady

About

Vor Frue Kirke in Aalborg was originally a part of the Benediktiner abbey from around 1100. The only remains are the stone carvings in the west gable. The church is open every day and you are welcome to visit the church all week days between 10 and 14 and Saturday between 10 and 12. The present building is from 1878 as they tore the originally church down since it was decrepit. The tower is maintained but was facing with the same stone as the church was build out of. The same goes for the Scheelske chapel. The Pentzske chapel was rebuilt and the remains - a beautiful epitaphs from 1615 - from the third chapel was placed here. A huge part of the fixture comes from the original church, except the Alter which burned back in 1902 and was replaced in 1908. The Church of our Lady i also represented in the official crest of Aalborg, which shows three church towers. The other two being Abbey Church and Budolfi Cathedral. The church has room for 600 people.
