One of the earliest Brick Gothic cathedrals in the world, built between about 1170 and 1200 with roughly 2.5 million handmade bricks, pioneering the Brick Gothic style across Northern Europe. Later generations added chapels and porches reflecting the styles of each era, leading UNESCO to inscribe it in 1995 as a testimony to eight centuries of European religious architecture. It is also the burial site of around forty Danish kings and queens.
