Viborg Domkirke er formodentlig bygget på det sted, hvor der langt tilbage i oldtiden lå en hedensk helligdom, som byen Viborg (tidligere Vibjerg) har sit navn efter. Det menes, at den første kirke på stedet blev bygget allerede omkring år 980. Denne kirke var uden tvivl af træ. I 1065 – i kong Svend Estridsens regeringstid – blev Jylland inddelt i fire bispedømmer, hvorved Viborg fik en biskop. I begyndelsen af 1100-tallet under biskop Eskil begyndte bygningen af en domkirke på det sted, hvor den nuværende ligger. Muligvis har Asmild Kirke, som ligger på den østlige side af Viborg-søerne lige over for domkirken, oprindelig været eller fungeret som domkirke. Kirken blev bygget af granitkvadre samt af frådsten (kildekalk) og af forskellige slags sandsten, herunder rødsten fra Fur og al fra de jyske heder. Byggestilen var romansk med forbillede i domkirken i Lund, som var ærkebispesæde for hele Norden. Man har uden tvivl hentet bygmestre og håndværkere fra Sydtyskland til at gennemføre byggeriet. Inden man var færdig, var kunsten at brænde teglsten kommet til Danmark, og den øverste del af den gamle domkirke var bygget af dette materiale.
Den barokke domkirke fra før 1863
En brand forårsaget af lynnedslag i 1501 ødelagde kirkens vestparti samt loft. Endnu en brand hærgede kirken i 1567. Den 27. juni 1726 skete den helt store katastrofe, da en brand lagde store dele af Viborg i aske. Af domkirken stod kun murene tilbage. De høje spir, som prydede tårnene dengang, faldt ned og knuste hvælvingerne. Kirken blev genopbygget i barokstil af bygmesteren Claus Stallknecht fra Altona, men i de følgende år viste det sig, at murværket havde taget mere skade end oprindelig antaget. I 1850´erne begyndte murene at skride fra hinanden og hvælvingerne slog revner, og i 1862 måtte kirken lukkes. Det blev besluttet, at kirken skulle nedrives og genopbygges på de gamle fundamenter i en stil, som man dengang anså for den oprindelige romanske stil. I 1863 begyndte nedrivningen. Genopbygningen var stærkt præget af kunsthistorikeren N.L. Høyens ideer om en national bygningskunst og blev gennemført af arkitekterne N.S. Nebelong og Julius Tholle, og efter at de begge døde i 1871, af arkitekten, professor H.B. Storck. I september måned 1876 blev den nye kirke indviet. Den nuværende domkirke er således en moderne rekonstruktion, hvilket både dengang og senere har givet anledning til mange kritiske røster. De maskinudskårne kvadersten har således ikke meget at gøre med håndhuggede sten fra 1100-tallet, og det lykkedes ikke at få form på de alt for smalle tårne.
Kong Erik den Femte Glipping. Han blev myrdet i Finderup Lade vest for Viborg Cecilienat (22. november) 1286 og bisat i Viborg Domkirke. Hans grav er gået til ved en brand, men den smule, der var tilbage af ham, er nu nedlagt under gulvet midt i koret, hvor en nyere sten markerer stedet, hvor graven oprindelig var.
I det lille kryptkapel mod syd står en kiste med læderbetræk. I den ligger den balsamerede adelsmand Valdemar Daa, hvis brogede historie H.C. Andersen har skrevet en kendt fortælling om: "Vinden fortæller om Valdemar Daa og hans døtre."
Viborg Domkirke fremstår i dag som et tre skibs korskirke. Den er ca. 70 m lang og knap 23 m bred. De to vest tårne er 42 m høje og afsluttes af lave pyramideformede spir. Ved overgangen mellem hovedskib og kor findes to mindre tårne og et klokkespir. Kirken har hovedindgang i vest gavlen imellem de 2 tårne og sidedøre på syd- og nordsiden. Mod øst afsluttes kirken af et Apsis, som i hovedsagen stammer fra den
gamle domkirke. Her finder man forneden to middelalderlige løvefigurer og foroven to menneskeansigter udhugget i granitkvadre. Den ene løvefigur er afbildet på den forrige danske 200-kronerseddel.

Viborg Cathedral is probably built on the place where, far back in ancient times, a pagan shrine which the city of Viborg (formerly Vibjerg) has been named after. It is believed that the first church on site was built around the year 980. This church was undoubtedly of wood. In 1065 - in the reign of King Svend Estrids - Jutland was divided into four dioceses, whereby Viborg received a bishop. In the early 12th century, under the bishop Eskil, the construction of a cathedral began at the site of the present. Possibly, Asmild Church, which is located on the eastern side of the Viborg lakes just opposite the cathedral, was originally or functioned as a cathedral. The church was built of granite squares and of the bricks (source lime) and of various kinds of sandstone, including the red stone from Fur and al from the Jutland heaths. The building style was Romanesque with a model in the cathedral in Lund, which was the archbishopric for the whole of the Nordic region. It has undoubtedly been fetched by builders and craftsmen from southern Germany to complete the construction. Before being finished, the art of burning the brick had come to Denmark, and the upper part of the old cathedral was built of this material. The baroque cathedral from before 1863 A fire caused by lightning strikes in 1501 destroyed the church's western part and ceiling. Another fire ravaged the church in 1567. On June 27, 1726, the great catastrophe happened, as a fire made large parts of Viborg in ashes. Only the walls were left by the cathedral. The tall spiers that adorned the towers at that time fell down and crushed the vaults. The church was rebuilt in Baroque style by the builder Claus Stallknecht from Altona, but in the following years it turned out that the masonry had taken more damage than originally assumed. In the 1850s, the walls began to slip apart and the vaults cracked, and in 1862 the church had to be closed. It was decided that the church should be demolished and rebuilt on the old foundations in a style which at that time was considered the original Romanesque style. In 1863 the demolition began. The reconstruction was strongly influenced by the art historian N.L. Høyen's ideas for a national building art and was carried out by the architects N.S. Nebelong and Julius Tholle, and after they both died in 1871, by the architect, Professor H.B. Storck. In September 1876, the new church was consecrated. The present cathedral is thus a modern reconstruction, which both then and later has given rise to many critical voices. The machine-cut quartz stones do not have much to do with hand-hewn stones from the 12th century, and failed to get shape on the too narrow towers.
King Erik the Fifth Glipping. He was murdered in Finderup Lade west of Viborg Cecilienat (November 22) 1286 and left in Viborg Cathedral. His grave has gone on by a fire, but the bit left of him is now laid under the floor in the middle of the choir, where a newer stone marks the place where the tomb was originally. In the small crypt chapel to the south stands a coffin with leather upholstery. In it lies the embalmed nobleman Valdemar Daa, whose variegated history H.C. Andersen has written a well-known story about: "The wind tells about Valdemar Daa and his daughters."
Viborg Cathedral is today a three-ship cross church. It is approx. 70 m long and barely 23 m wide. The two west towers are 42 m high and are terminated by low pyramid-shaped spiers. At the transition between the main ship and the chorus there are two smaller towers and a bell. The church has the main entrance in the west gable between the two towers and side doors on the south and north side. To the east, the church is terminated by an Apsis, which mainly derives from it old cathedral. Here you will find below two medieval lion figures and above two human faces carved into granite squares. One lion figure is depicted on the previous Danish 200-krone note.
