Aarhus City Hall
Aarhus Rådhus
Arne Jacobsen's modernist town hall, whose marble façade and clock tower are icons of Danish architecture.
Completed in 1941 and designed by Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller, the town hall is clad in Norwegian marble and has a grid-patterned clock tower. Its wooden furniture and lighting are also classics of Danish modernism, and the building is listed for protection. The hall is usually open to visitors on weekdays, while guided tours to the tower in summer require advance booking. In front, in the town hall park, stands the “Sow Fountain” sculpture. It is about a 5-minute walk from Central Station.
Opening hours
