Perched at the head of a fjord, Vejle sits in an idyllic intersection of rivers, valleys and forested hills. During the Middle Ages Vejle was an important market town. Today it enjoys more sophisticated status, thanks to spas, shopping centers, safari parks, golf courses and upscale dining establishments. Don’t miss the Viking-age rune stones or the remains of the Iron Age “bog woman” on display inside of St. Nicolai Church.

This church was the first in the town and build as a Late Romanesque/Early Gothic red brick building, which must have been begun shortly before 1250. It took its present appearance as a result of substantial rebuilding in 2018-19. Today it mainly takes the form of a Late Gothic monument with three equally large and equally tall aisles. But at its core is an interesting Early Gothic nave, a hall church, whose two aisles correspond to the present central aisle and north side aisle. In 1855 the Late Romanesque chancel section was removed and a new chancel was built 3 meters to the south. In 1887-88 the tower was replaced by the existing Neo-Gothic tower. In the north chapel, during the construction in the fifteenth century, 23 skulls were embedded in a ‘belt’ in the wall 3-4 meters above ground level. The embedding of skulls is known from other churches, but nowhere in Denmark in as large a number as in Vejle.
