Andersen, it has the writer's museum, his childhood home, the Catedral de São Canuto and an old cobbled quarter. To the south are the open-air museum Den Fynske Landsby and, 30 km away, the Castelo de Egeskov.

The local experience
The Hans Christian Andersen museum opened in 2021, designed by Kengo Kuma, largely underground and surrounded by gardens. It includes the house believed to be the writer's birthplace and, a few streets away, his childhood home.
Odense's brick Gothic cathedral, completed in 1499, with the crypt containing the remains of King Canute IV (the Holy) and the carved and gilded altar by Claus Berg from the early 16th century.
An open-air museum that recreates a Funen village from H. C. Andersen’s time, with half-timbered farms, mills, a school, a smithy and animals, in a valley south of Odense centre.
The 1554 Renaissance castle built on oak piles in a small lake, near Kværndrup in southern Funen, with 20 hectares of gardens, mazes and museums of vintage cars and aircraft. Open seasonally.
