Old City Hall, Baroque town hall in Aalborg, Denmark
The Old City Hall stands at Gammeltorv with a yellow-washed facade decorated with white pilasters and a black-glazed tile roof. The two-story building displays characteristic baroque design with carefully crafted details throughout its structure.
Master builder Daniel Popp designed and constructed this administrative center in 1762, taking inspiration from Johan Conrad Ernst's City Hall in Copenhagen. After its completion, the building served as the city's administrative seat until 1912.
The entrance displays the Danish coat of arms and a bust of King Frederick V, with a Latin inscription above the door. These symbols show what the city valued and wanted to represent to its residents and visitors.
The building today serves ceremonial and wedding functions and cannot be visited like a museum. Best viewed from outside, visitors can appreciate the baroque facade and its setting on the historic square.
The building received protection status from the Danish Heritage Agency in 1918 for its local Rococo design elements. This recognition marked the beginning of efforts to preserve it as an important part of the city's architectural heritage.
