AARHUUS, a city, the capital of the see and of the bailiwick of the same name. It is situated on the Cattegat, in a low plain, where an inland lake empties itself into the sea. The cathedral is a Gothic building, and the largest church in Denmark. In 1848 the inhabitants amounted to 7000. The harbour is small, but good and secure; and now one of the best in Jutland, having regular steam communication with Copenhagen and Callundborg, from which latter place a road leads to Copenhagen. Aarhus is about 100 miles WNW. from the capital. It exports agricultural produce, spirits, cork, leather, and gloves. It has sugar refineries, and manufactories of wool, cotton, and tobacco. It is in Lat. 56. 9. 35. N., and Long. 10. 8. E.
