Hokeren

The museum store, The Peddlar's Shop (Hokeren), is housed in a carefully restored building from the 1700's. From floor to ceiling, the shop is bursting with all sorts of goods, from toys to pickled herring. In short, a real, old-fashioned country store, that takes you back to the early 1900's.

Svanemollen

Svanemollen (Swan Mill) was built in 1853 and belonged to the merchant I.A. Larsen. It was taken over by his son, Johannes Larsen, who cared for it until his death in 1961. At the turn of the century, the miller and his family lived in the small, half-timbered house next to the mill, until Johannes Larsen built a more fitting home for them.

Johannes Larsen Museet

Visit the artist Johannes Larsen's home. It stands today just as it did in Larsen's and his fellow Funish Painters' heyday in the early 20th century. Visit the house, the workshop, the winter garden and the gardens. See changing exhibitions of both newer and older art in the modern exhibition buildings.

Reviewed By IntrepidHector - Lolland, Denmark

I loved my visit to this 'museum'. In fact, it is so much more than a museum. It is a voyage into the world and home of the painter Johannes Larsen and the artist scene he was part of. A visit includes his house, his studio, a garden pavilion - all lovingly preserved with respect for the past - and then a stunning new wing (which they humorously call 'The Wing', given Larsen's passion and fame for painting birds). The house reminded me of the Bloomsbury artists' penchant for painting every available area of a room that was not already covered in pictures with a fantastic devil-may-care use of colour - each room a dazzlingly different hue. The new building left me speechless - simply for the beauty of its design and its location and stunning views of the beach and water. The garden is also a delight, peppered with free-range rare-breed hens and ducks - another bird tribute. To top it all we had a great lunch in the café restaurant, sitting out on the terrace - also with a lovely view. A FABULOUS PLACE.

Vikingemuseet Ladby

Step into the Ladby Ship grave - Denmark's only Viking ship grave - and walk around the ship, where a Viking king in the early 900's was sent off on his last journey. See an exhibition about the ship and the ship grave, and follow along in the building of the full-size Ladby Ship and the sewing of the Ladby Tapestry.

Toldboden

Special exhibits of an historical nature are shown at the Customs House on Strandgade (Beach Street) next to the rear of Kerteminde Church. The Customs House is one of the oldest buildings in town, built by Odense merchant Niels Bager about the year 1590, when Kerteminde functioned as the port of Odense. During the Swedish War (1659), the occupying Swedish forces used the Customs House as their headquarters. The Danish-Dutch naval fleet attempted to recapture the town and shot cannonballs at the building, laying it in ruins. It was first rebuilt in 1735, the date seen on the front of the Customs House, though with two stories instead of the original three. Until 1800, it was the only secular masonry building in the town.
