history

town hall

In the Middle Ages, Brøndby consisted of two villages - Brøndbyøster and Brøndbyvester - with two churches from the 12th century. In the middle of the 20th century, Brøndby Nord was built with multi-storey houses, some of which have large paintings on the gable walls. Brøndby Strand was added later. The church in Brøndby Strand, built in 1984, has a carillon and there are many carillon concerts every year.

The town hall was built in 1959 and was later expanded several times.
