Old Town Hall (Silkeborg)

The Old Town Hall in Silkeborg, Denmark, was built in 1857 and now houses the local tourist office.

It remained in use until 1970 when a new town hall was inaugurated on Søvej.

The building was then used as a courthouse but was decommissioned in connection with the 2007 Danish Judicial Reform which reduced the number of municipalities in Denmark.

[1] The two-storey town hall is built in brick to a Historicist design.

It has crow-stepped gables and has a short hexagonal tower with a copper-clad spire projecting from the middle of the main facade facing the square.
