Aarhus City Hall

The municipal building features marble-covered concrete walls, a 60-meter-high tower, and a large clock face measuring 7 meters in diameter.

Architects Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller designed this functionalist structure, which opened its doors to the public on June 2, 1941.

The building represents Danish modernist architecture through its clean lines, geometric shapes, and integration of natural materials from Nordic regions.

The city hall serves as the administrative center for Aarhus Municipality, housing government offices and providing public services to local residents.

The clock tower, initially excluded from original plans, was added following public demand and now stands as a central element of the building.
