City church This church is from the 14th century and Bläserturm is originally part of city fortifications. The Gothic bell tower was built in the 14th century and it housed the bells. In 1634 the chruch was destroyed by fire, Bläserturm was repairable but the rest had to be rebuilt and the work was finished in 1711 in Baroque style. Staring Don't you start with me! Baaaah Westerheversand Lighthouse The Westerheversand Lighthouse (German: Leuchtturm Westerheversand) is located in Westerhever, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

Since Aarhus had grown to become Jutland's biggest city during the 19th century, the old theatre had become too small to serve the public demand. A new building was designed by the Danish architect Hack Kampmann (1856–1920), and the construction began on 12 August 1898. Only two years later, Aarhus Theatre stood completed and was inaugurated on the 15th of September 1900. : Denmark, kaupunki, kesäloma, matka, summer holiday, town, travel, Århus Hotel Royal Over 175 years old hotel is one of best in town. : Denmark, kaupunki, kesäloma, matka, summer holiday, town, travel, Århus
