Ribe Katedralskole

Ribe Cathedral or Our Lady Maria Cathedral (Danish: Ribe Domkirke or Vor Frue Maria Domkirke) is located in the ancient city of Ribe, on the west coast of southern Jutland, Denmark. It was founded in the Viking Age as the first Christian church in Denmark by Ansgar, a missionary monk from Hamburg, under permission of the pagan King Horik I. The cathedral has experienced several damaging events throughout its long history and has been restored, expanded and decorated repeatedly. As it stands today, Ribe Cathedral is the best preserved Romanesque building in Denmark, but reflects a plethora of different architectural styles and artistic traditions. It ranks among the most popular tourist attractions in Denmark and has been awarded two stars in the Michelin guide.

Dankirke was a Danish Iron Age settlement in south-west Jutland, located near the later town of Ribe. It was divided into East Dankirke and West Dankirke. Elise Thorvildsen's excavations of the settlement from 1965-1970 uncovered the remnants of houses dating to the 4th or 5th century AD thus making Dankirke one of Denmark's earliest cities. Some believe that Denmark's first church was built in Dankirke, but generally it is agreed that the first Christian church in Denmark was built in Hedeby around the year 850. The village was located close to the sea, which allowed trade with other countries such as England. Up to the year 700 Dankirke was one of the most important of Denmark's trading cities, until it was surpassed by Ribe. Dankirke's archeological findings are exhibited at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen.

The Wadden Sea Centre (Danish: Vadehavscentret) is a visitor centre and museum for the UNESCO World Heritage Site the Wadden Sea, an intertidal zone of the North Sea.

The Kongeå (in German Königs Au) is a watercourse in Southern Jutland in Jutland, Denmark. It rises southeast of Vejen and Vamdrup and after about 50 kilometres (31 mi) it flows through a sluice to tidal mudflats and sandbanks north of Ribe, and eventually into the North Sea. The eastern section is little more than a stream, while the western section is navigable by boat as far as the sluice. The Kongeå, however, passes no port or market town of any significance, and small boats use the Ribe Å. Historically, the watercourse has been the administrative border between regions to the north and south. In the Middle Ages it was called Skodborg Å after the royal castle Skodborghus, where a track crossed the watercourse south of Vejen. For centuries a customs border near the Kongeå separated the Kingdom of Denmark from the duchy of Schleswig. From 1864 to 1920, except in the extreme west, the Kongeåen marked the border between Denmark and Germany.The Kongeå is mentioned (as "Skotborg river") in the Heimskringla in a description of the 1043 battle in which King Magnus I of Norway and Denmark defeated at Lyrskov Hede (Hlyrskog Heath) a large army of Slavs who had invaded southern Denmark from the current Mecklenburg region in retaliation for a Viking attack on Jomsborg, which at the time was the Slavic kingdom's primary town on Wolin island. The area around the river is the site of several preserved burial mounds that have been the subject of archeological study, including Skelhøj.
