The town hall in Ribe

Imagine getting married in the oldest Nordic city, which is steeped in history with its cobblestone streets – and where beautiful and colorful houses from the Middle Ages stand side by side in the city center. The medieval center of Ribe with its winding streets and beautiful buildings is the obvious choice for a romantic wedding. The ambience for a civil wedding in Ribe is excellent. Det Gamle Rådhus (The Old Town Hall) in Ribe is Denmark’s oldest town hall, which was completed in 1496. However, it was not used as the town hall until 1708, where town council meetings were held until 2007. In the corridors of the historic building there are collections of portrait paintings of mayors and officials from 1600-1900. 

It is about 30 km from the German border to Ribe. From Germany you can reach the town by car or train. The nearest airport is Billund Airport.

  • After your application has been approved, we can immediately book an appointment for you. There is usually no waiting time.

  • You can bring two witnesses (please let us know in advance!) You are asked to be at the town hall at least 20 minutes before your wedding ceremony. The office is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.). Please bring all of the original documents with you, copies of which you sent me in advance by e-mail, so that the approval for your application for a civil marriage can be presented to the staff.

  • The wedding ceremony lasts 10-15 minutes.
