摘要：I år er det 100 år siden at Borgmestergården åbnede på sin nuværende placering og dermed også 100 år siden at Den Gamle By åbnede som frilandsmuseum. Bygningen er rekonstrueret som det kunne have taget sig ud i renæssancen og det er gjort efter datidens bedste forudsætninger og med de bedste fagligkundskaber. I år har en arkæologistuderende gennemført en gennemgribende undersøgelse som er suppleret med en række dendrokronologiske dateringer på bygningstømmeret. Undersøgelsen har vist flere nye resultater og givet ny viden om huset. Man kan bl.a. påvise at længen mod Torvet og længen mod Algade i 1597 har stået adskilte – altså ikke sammenbyggede som nu og der er stor sandsynlighed for at der findes rester af et middelalderligt hus i Algadelængen. The Mayor’s House – 100 years in Den Gamle By This year it is 100 years since the Mayor’s House opened in its present position, and thus it is 100 years since Den Gamle By started as an open-air museum. The building was reconstructed as it might have looked in the Renaissance period, based on the best assumptions and professional knowledge of the time. This year a student of archaeology have carried out a thorough investigation, supplemented by a number. 40 of dendrochronological datings of timber from the building. This study has revealed several new results and added to our knowledge about the house. Among other things, it has been shown that the wing facing the Square stood separately in 1597 – and not joined to the rest as at present, and it is highly likely that the remains of a mediaeval house can be found in the Algade wing.
