Aalborg Town Hall

About

On the centrally located square, Gammeltorv, which is surrounded by the lively street "Boulevarden" and the cosy Nytorv, Aalborg Rådhus is situated. Since 1762 it has been the municipal administration of Aalborg, with a string of different and changing functions such as prison, citything, as well as place for social events. Until 1970, it hosted all the city council meetings on the 1st floor. However, at present these are held in other locations around the city. Nowadays, it is used for civil wedding ceremonies and representative purposes. As the smallest city hall in Denmark, the beautiful building, which is built in a Baroque- and rococo-style, has a charming and inviting appearance. At christmas-time, the city hall puts up decorations to create the perfect and cost atmosphere as centre of the annual christmas market on Gammeltorv.
