In 1795 it was itself destroyed in the second Great Fire of Copenhagen and later replaced by the new combined city hall and courthouse at Nytorv which was completed in 1815.

Seven bays wide, the building consisted of two storeys and a cellar, under a mansard roof topped by a ridge turret.

[1] The facade was decorated with statues, columns and a bust of King Christian VI above the royal coat of arms.

[2] The cellar also contained a drinking establishment which served both wine and foreign beer.

That the magistrate was entitled to run a "town cellar" as this establishment was called, was a tradition which can be traced back to at least Christopher of Bavaria's Stadsret' from 14 October 1443.
