Architect: C.F.Hansen, 1815, in a neo-classical style. With hexastyle portico of Ionic order, columns unfluted. Matching fluted pilasters behind. Plain tympanum within pediment. The frieze bears a quote from the Code of Jutland (1241) which roughly translates as "With Law the Country shall be built". At Nytorv, Copenhagen, Denmark.
