One of the most beautiful places

Jørgen Olufsen's Courtyard, located on Østerågade near Nytorv in Aalborg, is an outstanding Renaissance merchant's house dating back to 1616. Built by the then-mayor Jørgen Olufsen, the courtyard is one of the best-preserved of its time in Denmark. At the entrance to Østerågade, we see an iron bar with a sturdy hook. It served as a scale, allowing customers to verify that everything was fair. On Østerågade, we see the front of the building complex: a stone house with a gable facing the street and a timber-framed wing, often called the "Hamborggården." The stone house with its grand staircase is richly decorated. The sandstone portal, adorned with male and female Hermes figures, bears the initials of its patron, Mayor Jørgen Olufsen, and the year 1616. In a niche higher up stands a beautiful female figure, the "Aalborg Girl," which has been remarkably well preserved despite its 360 years. From the bank building's courtyard, we can see the entire south wing all the way to Maren Turis Gade; a truly impressive sight. Jørgen Olufsen was the brother of Jens Bang.

Unfortunately, you can only admire this 15th-century building from the outside… but it has something to it!

I was lucky enough to be able to listen to an organ playing... this alone was worth it
