Sct. Mortens Kirke

An exceptionally beautiful and impressive gothic town church dating from the late 1400s. Its size is do to its close links to the former Helligåndskloster, for which it served as the place of worship, and its location in a large and wealthy market town. The interior is decorated by numerous sculptures and memorials to the prominent merchants of the town and features a modern alter tableau illustrating Good Friday in Gethsemane Garden by Per Kirkeby, unveiled in the spring of 2004.

Råby Kirke

The church, which is of a rather impressive size, is placed in the outskirts of Råby and consists of a Romanesque choir and nave. The church rises in a distinctive manner with its castle-like tower with the transverse roof. A large and tall porch has been erected facing north. It is made of red and yellow mediaeval large bricks in tile belts. The ornamental gable filling walls indicate a construction time around 1550. Råby Kirke is decorated with fantistic murals which were uncovered in 1918.

Sct. Clemens Kirke

The name probably derives from a church in Randers which was dedicated to the patron saint of the mariners, St. Clemens. The church is designed by the architects Inger and Johannes Exner and is from 1963. The siting of the church on a hillside facing south with a view of Gudenådalen (the Valley of the Gudenå River) has been used rather unusually as the church's choir with the large windows faces south. From the church's entrance facing north the buildings are not much to look at but seen from the south the bulding's three storeys jut out in the Vestpark as a stem.

Skt. Andreas Kirke

The architect was Holger Jensen who is known for many other church buildings. The church was consecrated on August 15 1971. In 2000, a extension was built in the western end. The building consists of a tall wall facing east and an inclined roof with three rows of low windows facing west.

Voldum Kirke

Throughout time, the church has had a close connection with Clausholm Slot (the Castle of Clausholm). The church is built on the remnants of an older church that cracked and collapsed in 1606. The equipment of the church are baroque from 1678.

Enghøj Kirke

The church was consecrated in November 1994 and is designed by architect Henning Larsen. The church is situated strikingly on high ground in the large scenery seen from west. The church is shaped as a processional church: A long but simple and "rigorous" room with seats in both sides of the aisle, and at the back of the church, the organ is placed. All of this are features which are found in old medieval churches. However, Enghøj Kirke, with its modern and up-to-date achitecture, is also a building that falls in line with its own modern time.

Sct. Peders Kirke

Sct. Peders Church is a typical church from the turn of the century 1900. It was designed by the architect C.A. Wiinholt and built in 1902 – with inspiration from early medieval architecture – as a Romanesque cross church. The main entrance is flanked by two column pairs, which are retrieved between the double-windows all around the church. At an extensive restoration in 1958 the porch was added. The relief above the entrance and the fess with the year of construction of the church, and the baptismal font - as the only remaining original furniture in the church – were preserved. 
 

Houlbjerg Kirke

Houlbjerg Kirke is from approximately year 1200. The church's altarpiece is a beautiful Lutheran triptych from 1598. It has paintings from the 19th century with a copy of Guido Reni's "Christmas night" in the central section and the Ascension on the sides.

Kristrup Kirke

From the original Romanesque church which was dedicated to St. Anna only a small part facing west is preserved. The existing building consisting of nave, choir and sacristy as well as porch stems for the most part from 1848 in the end of the neo-classicistic period.

Ålum Kirke

Ålum Kirke is definitely worth a visit. The beautiful ashlar church originates from about year 1200 and has both an interesting history and many beautiful structural details. In particular, the entrance gate between the existing porch and the nave with tree double granite columns is a magnificent stonecutter work. At Ålum Kirke, you will have a unique opportunity to experience some fine runic stones of the viking age. Here, no less than 4 different runic stones are placed.

Spentrup Kirke

Spentrup Kirke consists of a Romanesque choir and a nave with a late gothic tower constructed on top of an extension of the church to the west, but covering only half of the naves breadth. Several Romanesque windows are preserved, and on the south wall of the choir a remarkable ashlar is found, which presumably is a chessboard.
In 1882 some very interesting murals from the beginning of 1200 were uncovered in the apse.

Mariager Klosterkirke

Mariager Abbey church was built in connection with the Bridgettine abbey in the last half of the 15th century and as a house of worship towers above the other buildings. Today the remnants of the abbey have been converted into a registry office and may only be viewed from the outside. (The reconstruction of the abbey and the original church is kept at Mariager Museum).

Johanneskirken

The Johannes church is a quite modern church, designed by the architect Holger Jensen and inau-gurated in 1978. The monumental church is characteristic with inward curved walls connected with tall windows. The architect has intentionally placed the church on a hill, in order to let the soft, con-vex slopes of the hill correspond to the concave, staggered walls of the church. The church entrance is unconventionally placed on the east side, where also the detached church tower is situated.

Hald Kirke

A church with a long story of construction. The nave and choir are assumed to be built as far back as in 1140, the church tower and porch presumably added during the 1400th century, and the sacristy with corbie gable and high bricked up pointed twin arches were added in the late gothic age around 1500. Both the original north portal and the south portal are preserved - the first mentioned bricked up though. The greatest treasure in the church is a magnificent cupboard altarpiece from around 1500, which was origin-nally created for Saint Martins Church (Skt. Mortens Kirke), and consecrated to the patron Saint Martinus, whose picture is found on the central part of the altarpiece.
