Gentofte Town Hall, Town hall in Charlottenlund, Denmark.
Gentofte Town Hall sits on Bernstorffsvej and displays classical columns with a symmetrical layout that characterizes Danish Neoclassical design. The building serves as the administrative center for the local municipality.
The municipality relocated to this site in 1936 after the original 1903 administration building became too small. This move reflected the community's growth and changing needs at the time.
The building features a water sculpture with 500 glazed ceramic tiles in white, blue, and reddish-brown, created by Allan Smidt in 1978 and reflecting Danish artistic traditions.
The building is easily accessible from the main plaza and provides administrative services for visitors who need to conduct municipal business. The area has adequate parking and good public transportation connections.
Royal Copenhagen collaborated on creating the decorative elements of the water sculpture, linking civic architecture with prized Danish craftsmanship. This partnership shows how municipal building and artistic skill came together.
