Viborg Cathedral is a magnificent Romanesque church that stands as a central landmark in the city. While the current building is largely a 19th-century reconstruction, it is renowned for the incredible frescoes by artist Joakim Skovgaard that adorn its interior. These vibrant paintings tell the story of the Bible and are a truly stunning sight to behold. It's a powerful and historically significant place that is well worth a visit.

Not far from the cathedral is the Latin Garden, Viborg's oldest garden. Dating back to 1726, it originally belonged to the official residence of the director of Viborg's Latin School. Visitors can enjoy the scent of the many interesting flowers and herbs, as well as the buzzing of bees, from the numerous benches. Source: Visit Aarhus
