Jens Bang's House

The five-story stone house displays Dutch Renaissance architecture with intricate stone carvings, three tall-pointed gables, and ornate window decorations throughout its facade.

Built in 1624 by merchant Jens Bang, the structure represented the economic power of Aalborg during the 17th century through its grand design and central location.

The building contains a sculpture of Jens Bang with his tongue out, reflecting the merchant's defiant personality and conflicts with local authorities.

Located at Østerågade 9 in central Aalborg, the exterior of this private residence remains visible to visitors while housing the Swan Pharmacy on its ground floor.

For over three centuries, the structure has maintained its function as the city's oldest pharmacy, with historical medicinal artifacts displayed in its upper floor museum.
