Køge Town Hall

The town hall was built in about 1552 when the citizens of Køge were granted permission from Christian III to use building materials from the abandoned Greyfriers monastery in Vestergade for the construction of a town hall on condition that it contained granary and custom office.

It was built in the Renaissance style and had a frieze with reliefs from Statius von Düren's workshop in Lübeck under the windows on the first floor.

[3] The old, Neoclassical town hall building has a simple yellow facade tipped by a triangular pediment.

Two of Statius von Düren's terracotta reliefs from the Renaissance town hall flank the main entrance.

The modern extension consists of two long, glazed rear wings flanking a glass-covered alleyway which continues all the way to Køge station.
