Courthouse and Jail, Historical courthouse in Esbjerg, Denmark.
The building features a 30-meter tower, stepped gables, and intricate masonry details that demonstrate late 19th-century architectural craftsmanship.
The courthouse and jail, designed by architect H.C. Amberg, opened in 1892 when Esbjerg had only 4,000 residents and served as a city hall until 1976.
The structure represents Danish administrative architecture from the 1800s and marks the end of an era of courthouse construction across Denmark.
The restored building now hosts wedding ceremonies conducted by Esbjerg Municipality and serves as an office for Destination Vadehavskysten tourism organization.
Former prison cells within the building have been transformed into modern meeting rooms while maintaining their original structural elements.
