The three-winged altar is attributed to an unknown master from Lübeck, who in the 20th century was given the emergency name Imperialissima Master according to the inscription under the statue of the Virgin Mary (Imperialissima virgo Maria) . The altar originally stood in Randers St. Mortens Church, to which a new altar was donated in 1765.
