Old City Hall, Baroque town hall in Aalborg, Denmark

The Old City Hall stands at Gammeltorv with a yellow-washed facade adorned with white pilasters and a black-glazed tile roof over two floors.

Master builder Daniel Popp designed and constructed this administrative center in 1762, taking inspiration from Johan Conrad Ernst's City Hall in Copenhagen.

The entrance features the Danish coat of arms, a bust of King Frederick V, and the Latin motto 'Prudentia et Constantia' above the door.

The building operates exclusively for ceremonial functions and wedding ceremonies, following its administrative role that ended in 1912.

The door displays local Rococo design elements that earned the building protection status from the Danish Heritage Agency in 1918.
