Gentofte Town Hall

Gentofte Town Hall stands on Bernstorffsvej with its classical columns and symmetrical design, representing the essence of Danish Neoclassical architecture.

The local administration moved to this location in 1936 after outgrowing the previous town hall built in 1903 at L.E. Bruunsvej and Rådhusvej.

The building features a water sculpture created by Allan Smidt in 1978, consisting of 500 glazed ceramic tiles in white, blue, and reddish-brown.

The municipal offices provide administrative services for the growing population of Gentofte, which expanded from 46,000 to 75,000 residents during the 1930s.

Royal Copenhagen collaborated in creating the decorative elements of the water feature, demonstrating the connection between civic architecture and Danish craftsmanship.
