AALBORG

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 2 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
AALBORG , a city and seaport of Denmark, the seat of a bishop, and
chief
  town of the amt (county) of its name, on the
south
  bank of the Limfjord, which connects the North Sea and the Cattegat. Pop. (1901) 31,457. The situation is typical of the north of Jutland. To the west the Limfjord broadens into an irregular
AAR
lake, with low, marshy shores and many islands. North-west is the
Store
  Vildmose, a swamp where the mirage is seen in summer.
South
 -
east
  lies the similar
Lille
  Vildmose. A railway connects Aalborg with Hjorring, Frederikshavn and Skagen to the north, and with Aarhus and the lines from Germany to the south. The harbour is good and safe, though difficult of access. Aalborg is a growing industrial and commercial centre, exporting grain and fish. An old castle and some picturesque houses of the 17th century remain. The Budolphi church
dates
  mostly from the middle of the 18th century, while the Frue church was partially burnt in 1894, but the foundation of both is of the 14th century or earlier. There are also an ancient
hospital
 
    See Also:
and a museum of art and antiquities. On the north side of the fjord is Norre Sundby, connected with Aalborg by a
pontoon
  and also by an iron rail-way bridge, one of the finest engineering works in the kingdom. Aalborg received town-privileges in 1342, and the bishopric
dates
  from 1554.
