Egeskov Slot, Denmark

The museum is in close proximity to Odense Banegård Center Railway Station, from which many tourists begin their acquaintance with the city. It is worth noting that the current station is the city's third. The first building was erected in 1865 and existed until 1914, and the second station functioned until 1995. The latter is of greatest interest from an architectural point of view. Located near the current station built in 1995, it is a wonderful example of modern architecture - functional and beautiful. When it comes to religious attractions, we can't fail to mention one more - Bellinge Kirke that was probably built in the 14th century. Inside, you can find frescoes of the late 15th century, which are considered the most important relics of the shrine.

Government buildings in Hans Christian Andersen's hometown deserve attention too. The Town Hall (Odense Rådhus) was built in 1883 by the architects Johan Daniel Herholdt and Carl Lendorf who were inspired by the Gothic style. Its expansion started back in 1937 and ended in 1955 according to the project of Bent Helweg-Möller. At that time, it got a memorial plaque with the names of the great natives of the city, including Hans Christian Andersen, Karl Nielsen, Thomas Brig, Christina of Denmark and Canute IV of Denmark. Thriges Kraftcentral Power Station is now turned into a museum, the main exhibit of which is the original B&W diesel generator of 1923. Here you can also see an exhibition on the life of Thomas B. Thrige.
