Aarhus
is beautifully situated
in typical East Jutland
countryside, in a green
valley with beaches
and woods within easy
reach.Rarely have people
shown such a sense of
appreciation of Danish
landscape as the vikings
who chose Aarhus for
their first settlement.The
original town formed
round the mouth of the
river: ‘Aros’
([river mouth] in Old
Nordic), the vikings
building a harbour,
a church and dwellings.
In around 948 A.D.
a bishopric was established
in Aarhus, the see becoming
permanent in 1060. The
fact that this town
became the third bishopric
in Jutland tells us
something about its
status as a trading
centre. Aarhus Florist - Flowers Aarhus
