There probably isn’t anything in this photo that goes back to medieval times (until 1500), but this area was active then. Fires, etc. have caused buildings to be freshened over the years, but most buildings in this part of town are from the 17th–19th century.
The “church” in the background is St. Catherine’s Priory which was a Catholic monastery from the 13th to the 16th century before the Danes got tired of the Catholic Church always asking for more money, time, etc. In 1918, Sankt Kathrine Kloster was restored to its former appearance.

Once upon a time, a smaller tower was on the northwest corner of Ribe Cathedral. However, in 1283, it collapsed killing many on their way to church. “Commoner’s Tower” (the flat tower on the right) was finished in 1333 with a spire that collapsed in 1594, never to be replaced. That turned out to be useful 50 years later because now there was space for eight cannons! The cannons fired at Swedish ships in 1644.
