Discover Åbyhøj Church

Visit Åbyhøj Church, west of Aarhus city centre, and discover a church with a unique history. The church was consecrated in 1945, but as early as 5 May of that same year, the church bells rang out for the first time to celebrate Denmark’s liberation.

Art and architecture

Step inside and admire the church’s Gothic vaults, the gilded altar cross and the colourful stained-glass windows, which cast a warm light throughout the church. Also take note of the church’s ‘light stone’, where you can light a candle and enjoy a moment of tranquillity.

A quiet moment in the churchyard

Surrounding the church is Åbyhøj Cemetery, dating from 1927. Take a stroll along the narrow paths amongst the graves, trees and green surroundings, and find a peaceful respite from city life.
