The former Courthouse and Jail in Esbjerg, Denmark was designed by Hans Christian Amberg and completed in 1892 on the city's central square. At the time, Esbjerg had only 4,000 inhabitants but ten years later it had grown to around 13,000.
The red-brick building with stepped gable's, round-arched windows and a tower reaching 30 m in height resembles a medieval castle. Built in the imposing Historicist style, it owes its existence to the rapidly expanding local population who had purchased the land and pressed for permission to build a courthouse since the 1870s. Hans Christian Amberg who designed the building is remembered principally for his work on Ribe Cathedral. The courthouse is one of the few buildings he designed from scratch, most of his work being devoted to restoration.
