The Mayor's House 1597
The Mayor's House is a merchant's house from Aarhus. The house was originally built on the corner of Immervad and Vestergade.
The building is one of the most important Danish half-timbered renaissance houses, and its hanging galleries are the oldest of their kind.
The house was dismantled in 1909 and rebuilt the same year as part of The National Exhibition in Aarhus as The Old Mayor's Residence. In 1914 it was moved to its current position as the first building in The Old Town.
Today the Mayor's House houses a cavalcade of middle-class domestic culture from 1600-1850.







Summer house from Aarhus, approx. 1780
Summer houses became popular with the middle classes in the 1700s.
This summer house was originally built in the garden of 29, Vestergade. It was dismantled and rebuilt at the same time as the Mayor's House as part of The National Exhibition in Aarhus in 1909.
It was moved with the Mayor's House to its current position in The Old Town in 1914.
