Feministisk nonneorden opførte et gigantisk klosterkompleks ved Mariager Fjord

Mariagers store, hvide korskirke troner mægtigt over Mariager by og fjord, og det er svært at forestille sig, at kirken engang faktisk var fire gange så stor som i dag. Men da kirken blev opført i 1400-tallet var Danmark stadig katolsk, og den såkaldte Birgittinerorden satte for at opføre et enormt klosterkompleks ved fjorden, der skærer sig ind i Jylland fra Kattegat.

Birgittinerne var blevet stiftet af den svenske adelsdame Birgitta af Vadstena. Hun er i eftertiden nærmest blevet anset for at være feminist, og selvom der for eksempel både boede nonner og munke på ordenens klostre var de altid ledt af abbedisse, altså en kvinde. 

Snart rullede Reformationen imidlertid ind over Danmark, klosteret blev nedlagt, og kirken blev herefter brugt som sognekirke for de lokale. Den enorme kirke var dog en stor mundfuld for Mariager, og sidst i 1700-tallet blev den tilpasset byens størrelse og fik den udformning, den har i dag.
