Jørgen Olufsen's Farm is the best-preserved Renaissance merchant's house
in Denmark. The three-story warehouse is equipped with elevators, and the doors
to the granaries are visible.

In the gate of Østerågade, right next to Jørgen Olufsen's Farm, there is an iron bar
with a large hook. Scales and weights were once hung on these hooks,
so that goods could be weighed in front of customers and customers could not be cheated. Viewed from Østerågade, the building consists of a stone structure
with its gable end facing the street and a half-timbered wing.

The stone structure, with its high steps, is richly decorated. Above the sandstone portal
with male and female minor figures, are the initials of the mayor, Jørgen Olufsen,
who lived in this house in 1616.

A little further up, in a niche, stands the figure of a charming woman, who bears her 360 years remarkably well. She is known as the "Aalborg Girl."
