About Aars

Aars is a relatively young town, established only 150 years ago. The town is well known for it's beautiful town centre and its many monuments and artworks by Per Kirkeby. At Christmas time, the town is also known for its extensive Christmas decorations. Because of several archeological finds, like the Gundestrup cauldron, the area is commonly said to be the home of the Cimbri - an ancient germanic tribe that fought the Roman Republic between 113 and 101 BC, alongside the Teutones and the Ambrones. A copy of the Gundestrup cauldron is on permanent display at the local museum; Vesthimmerlands Museum.
