Aalborg Town Hall
Until 1912, the borough of Aalborg's administration was assembled in the town hall, where the tasks were solved by only 9 persons. Today it is only used for official receptions and civil marriages.
The original town hall was demolished in 1757 to make way for the new Aalborg Town Hall. Until 1912, it served as the city's administrative center. Up until 1970, when Aalborg merged with 12 other municipalities, the city council held its meetings here.
Today, meetings are held at the Medborgerhuset, and the administration is spread across various locations in the city. In the past, the town hall functioned as a jail, courthouse, and banquet hall.
Denmark's Smallest Town Hall
The Old Town Hall is a small building in the style of late Baroque and Rococo. It is considered Denmark's smallest town hall relative to the city's population. Above the entrance door is Frederik V's motto, "Prudentia et Constantia," which means "Prudence and Constancy."
During the Christmas season, the town hall is beautifully decorated for the large Christmas market at Gammeltorv.
