It was decided to build a new town hall and the architect Thorvald Jørgensen was selected for the project.

It had become free after a farm, Maltegården, had been destroyed in a fire a few years earlier.

It was initially surrounded by fields but they were soon built over with single family detached homes.

In the space in front of the town hall stands a water feature.

It is an abstract sculpture with two organic figures and consists of circa 500 glazed ceramic tiles in white, blue and reddish-brown colours.
