Odense Denmark

Odense, located at Funen, Denmark’s garden island, is the third largest city in the country. Birthplace of Hans Christian Anderson, Odense will inspire you to write fairy tales of your own. Tiny thatched-roof houses line cobblestone streets, and swans do swim in green waterways among weeping willows. At Hans Christian Andersen Hus you can listen to recordings of his stories. The museum includes a library of Andersen’s works and manuscripts, paper cuttings and drawings from his travels. Odense’s old town has a lot of gorgeous and interesting half-timbered houses beautifully restored. It is a delight to stroll around this part of town. Saint Knuds Kirke, or Odense Domkirke is the oldest and biggest church in Odense. The cathedral is mainly build in Gothic style. One of the curiosities of the cathedral is the crypt where you can see on display the skeleton of King Canute and also his brother Benedict. Den Fynske Landsby is an interesting open-air-museum consisting of about 30 traditional buildings of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Egeskov, one of Europe's best preserved Renaissance water castles, looks like a fairy-tale-castle, built on an island in a small lake about 40 km south of Odense. The castle is still inhabited but the wide park of Egeskov is open to the public. Inside the park you’ll find the veteran auto museum, the toy museum, the deer-park, a huge tree-house and a baroque garden-labyrinth. Odense is a charming little town with a rich concentration of galleries and museums and an engaging cultural scene. With its medieval allure and lively atmosphere, Odense has become one of Denmark’s most enchanting destinations.
