The most impressive house in Aalborg is the five-storey Renaissance building called Jens Bang’s Stone House, the oldest house in the city, built in 1624. Jens Bang was a wealthy merchant but also a bit of an eccentric and therefore not universally admired. Despite his money and influence, he was never chosen as councilman of the city, which annoyed him so much that he supposedly decorated the façade of his house with masks caricaturing the council members and one of himself sticking out his tongue at the Town Hall next door. The Aalborg Town Hall is still in the same place as in Bang’s days, although it’s a different house, rebuilt in the 18th century.
