The place for photographers interested in history.

The current church had its first construction period around the year 1150-1225 and is herewith Denmark's oldest cathedral. The Church of Our Lady is made of Rhine Tufstone with later Gothic additions and alterations done in brick. The cathedral is built as a 3-nave church with two identical towers. The church is a unique building with a location right in the middle of Ribe town and can be seen from longer distances on the flat Wadden Sea coast.

The square around the cathedral has recently been renovated and functions as a square and meeting place in the center of Ribe. It is recommended to take the camera with you on a walk around the church, so that you can photograph the different towers and building styles that the church consists of. There are also several sculptures of historical figures around the church Ribe, Among other things. the bishop Ansgar. There is also access to the 52-metre-high Borgertårn, which is designed as the city's watch and storm bell tower with a beautiful view of the marsh landscape. You can get up into the tower through the church.

If you want to capture some nice drone photos of the church, it is recommended to go to Ribe Hovedeng, which is near the street Skibbroen. Here there is a good opportunity to ease the drone and get some beautiful pictures with the church in the center surrounded by the old houses Ribe.

Parking can be done in several places near the center. Among other things. at St. Peders Gade, where there is 4 hours of free parking (remember the P-disc).
