Introduction

The Old Town Hall of Ebeltoft stands on the core square of this millennia-old fishing village, a well-preserved half-timbered building from the 16th century with red walls, black beams and a street-facing gable — among Denmark's oldest town halls. Inside survive the former council chamber and a small torture room, telling the town's shift from Hanseatic trade to today's arty resort. With the winding cobbles and white wooden houses around it, it is the most period-flavoured frame of Ebeltoft, a must-pause on a slow old-town walk.
