Parking near Sankt Mortens Kirke
In the heart of Randers’ old town, Sankt Mortens Church rises as a striking testament to the city’s medieval grandeur. Built of warm red monk’s bricks between 1490 and 1520, the church originally formed part of a large Holy Ghost (Helligånd) monastery, with Prior Jens Mathiesen overseeing the construction. Above the altar, you can still read the Latin inscription from 1494, recording that the chancel was completed that year.
Sankt Mortens Church is the only one of Randers’ five medieval churches still standing. With its lofty Gothic nave, exquisite woodcarvings, and the distinctive onion‑shaped spire added in the late eighteenth century, the church remains an impressive market‑town landmark—one that reflects the wealth and stature Randers enjoyed in the Middle Ages.
