Copenhagen City Hall
Copenhagen City Hall (Danish: Københavns Rådhus) is the city hall of Copenhagen, Denmark, situated on the City Hall Square in central Copenhagen. It houses the headquarters of the Copenhagen City Council as well as the office of the Lord mayor of the Copenhagen Municipality.
The sixth incarnation of the Copenhagen City Hall, the current building in National Romantic Renaissance Revial style was designed by the Danish architect Martin Nyrop and constructed between 1892 and 1905.
The current structure is the sixth city hall in Copenhagen. Before it was moved to its present location, the previous city halls were situated at or near Gammeltorv/Nytorv approximately 500 m (1,600 ft) northeast of the current location.
Copenhagen's first medieval town hall was located at Gammeltorv (English: Old Square), Copenhagen's oldest square and the centre of the medieval city's market trade. However, little is known about it, as there is no reliable information about the exact location, what it looked like, or when it was built.
At the end of the 14th century, a new city hall was established on the corner of Nørregade and Studiestræde opposite the Church of Our Lady. The building was later used as a bishop's palace.
The third city hall, again located at Gammeltorv, was in use from about 1479 until it burned down in the great Copenhagen fire of 1728. In 1608-10, King Christian IV had it rebuilt into a small Renaissance building with curved gables and a slender octagonal stair tower.
The fourth city hall was built on the site of the previous one in 1728. It was constructed in Baroque style to designs by J.C. Ernst and J.C. Krieger. Also this building was destroyed by fire, as it burned down in the great Copenhagen fire of 1795.
Delayed by a lack of building materials and the outbreak of the English Wars, a fifth city hall was not completed before 1815. It was located on Nytorv, a short distance from the location of the two previous city halls. Designed in Neoclassical style by the architect Christian Frederik Hansen, it was intended to house both the city hall and a court house. The building still exists today, and is in use as the Copenhagen Court House.
