Odense City Hall

Today's building was designed by Johan Daniel Herholdt and Carl Lendorf in the Historicist style, inspired by Italian buildings such as the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena which it closely resembles.

[1] Completed in 1885, tts red masonry bears sandstone decorations, stepped gables and a saw-tooth course.

[3] In 1937, Bent Helveg-Møller won the competition for the building's enlargement.

The tower over the main entrance was torn down in 1942 but was not rebuilt.

In conjunction with Hans Christian Andersen's 200th anniversary in 2005, comprehensive renovation work was completed on the building's interiors, including the entrance halls, meeting rooms, banqueting hall and council chamber.
