Why Ribe Cathedral matters
Ribe Cathedral dominates the little town of low houses around it. The oldest parts are Romanesque, and the interior is a blend of centuries of styles. Climb the tower for a view over the red roofs of the town and the flat marshes beyond. In the evening the nearby night watchman tours the streets with a lantern in summer.
