Klostergade is an old street, situated in the Vesterbro neighborhood and its eastern section enters the smaller Latin Quarter.

Many small shops, cafés and restaurants are situated here and the nearby square Klostertorv is popular with recreational activities and an important event venue.

[3] Klostergade was constructed as an extension of the short street of Graven, running north of the priory and it originally terminated at Munkegade, where the road to Randers began.

The priory was established by the Dominican order some time in the 1220-30s on the site of the original St. Nicolas cathedral.

The 1685 complex is a half-timbered structure with a building facing the street, another wing behind it from the 1700s and a basement from the late Middle Ages.

On the square Klostertorv an Acer platanoides maple was planted around the turn of the 20th century in a courtyard.
