Facade of the old town hall in Danish town Ribe, Jutland, Denmark.

Raised in 1496, this is the oldest town hall in Denmark and it was used as a courthouse until 2006. These days, it’s a popular spot for civil weddings. Visitors can pop in to see ceremonial artifacts and an exhibit on local law and order (including a collection of medieval weapons and the executioner’s axe).
