As a five organist I was very happy to walk into happen to hear a full recital which sounded very nice from the new pipe organ near the entrance. I noticed also a second one on the side so at least two pipe organs in this church another one had three pretty neat, pretty impressive and the church is nice as well

Absolutely beautiful cathedral. Parts of it almost felt like being in an art gallery as there are lots of old works of art. Also of interest are the splendid stained glass windows, which were particularly vibrant on this sunny day, and the memorial stones. Free to visit but donations appreciated, even if donate via lighting a candle.

This church is well worth the time to visit. In addition to the beautiful architecture and stained glass, they have a large collection of art and a museum. There is not an entry fee. The original parts of the building were built in the late 1200s.

I have been there on Saturday and there was no entrance fee! The inside is both art and history museum! Definitely worth visiting! The voluntary worker was quite friendly and extremely eager to help me to learn about the Cathedral and art pieces in it.
Visit Wednesday evenings in July and August for free summer concerts. In spring and early summer, check Kathedraalfestival dates for organ recitals.
