Sankt Pauls Church
St. Paul's Church in Aarhus was built between 1884 and 1887 and is centrally located at the end of one of the city's major shopping streets, M. P. Bruunsgade. Usually, the chancel of Danish churches faces east and the tower faces west. This is not the case at St. Paul's Church.
The donor of the land on which the church was built, counsellor of state M.P.Bruun, set one condition - that the church should be built facing town.
The church was designed by the architect Th. Walter and was consecrated in 1887. It has two towers and is similar in ground plan to that of the Roman basilica with its high nave and slightly lower aisles and aspe. Entry via the side door to the east.
