Mejlborg is one of Aarhus's distinctive historic apartment buildings, standing near the edge of the centre where the city meets the harbour side. Its ornate late-19th-century architecture gives this part of town a touch of civic confidence and old urban drama.
It is a look-and-continue sight rather than a destination in itself, but architecture-minded travellers should notice it while walking between the cathedral area, the Latin Quarter, and the waterfront. Aarhus often reveals itself through these individual buildings as much as through major museums.
