Rådhustorvet in Randers is the city's central square with the old white town hall on the east side of the square. The old town hall was inaugurated in 1778 and until 1930 was located three meters further south than its current location.
In the middle of Rådhustorvet stands the statue of Niels Ebbesen, who killed the German count Gert in 1340. Learn more about the story of Niels Ebbesen and visit Niels Ebbesen's house. The statue was erected 130 years ago as a result of the mood in Denmark after the loss of North Schleswig in 1864.
The Danes were looking for heroes and national symbols, and Niels Ebbesen was an obvious candidate with his uprising against the Germans. The statue therefore also faces south - so he can keep an eye on the Germans.
The seven-meter-high monument was designed by sculptor F.E. Ring and erected with funds from the local citizens' committee. The statue itself was made from old cannons from the warship Dannebrog.
