Description of the attraction
One of the largest and oldest cities in Denmark, Aalborg, is located on the coast of the Limfjord in northern Jutland. Currently, Aalborg is a major seaport and commercial center of the country. Local residents call their city "little northern Paris".
The main attraction that Aalborg is proud of is the City Hall, located on Gammel Torv Square, where city meetings, fairs, and public executions were held in the Middle Ages.
Unfortunately, the building of the town hall, which Jens Bang showed his tongue, has not survived. Its successor was a late Baroque building whose history begins in 1762. It is a two-story yellow stone palace with white columns, wavy baroque pediments and sandstone decorations. Above the door is a bust of King Frederick V and his heraldic motto “God alone is worthy of Glory”.
Previously, the City Hall housed the bureaucratic apparatus, today the building is used for official receptions, various exhibitions and city cultural events. Not far from the town hall there is the Gothic Cathedral of St. Budolph, the unique Jensa Banga mansion, the Holy Spirit Monastery and the Historical Museum.
The Town Hall is a popular attraction in Denmark, which is visited by a huge number of tourists from all over the world throughout the year.
