Andresens Gård is a beautiful historic merchant's house in Kerteminde's old town. The oldest part of Andresens Gård dates back to the 16th century. The provision yard, dating from the end of the 16th century, is the oldest part of the building. As early as the 19th century, the old harbor was the lifeblood of the town, and the yellow warehouse on Paludan Müllers Plads dates back to this time. Previously, it belonged to the town's major trading company, Elias B. Muus A/S.

Munkebo Hill A Viking Age power center with perhaps the most beautiful view of Funen and the experience is free. A family of Viking kings from Funen lived on Munkebo Hill. Archaeological excavations have revealed a settlement here, a power center from the late Iron Age and Viking Age (ca. 550-950 AD) at the top of the hill. Several Viking Age houses, pit houses, and a mighty "King's Hall" surrounded by a strong wooden wall have been found. From here, the King of Ladby could control the surrounding landscape, overlooking Odense Fjord, Kertinge Nor, and the Great Belt. At the top of the observation tower, you are 58 meters above sea level, and you have fantastic views in all directions. The Viking Age and the region's history are told through posters at the information center or can be experienced through play. The information center has a restroom with wheelchair access. Bakken has many tables and benches where you can enjoy your packed lunch or coffee in beautiful surroundings. https://www.visitkerteminde.dk/kerteminde/planlaeg-din-tur/munkebo-bakke-gdk739069

There's no gravel path here, but a narrow paved road along the beach. You definitely can't ride a bike on the pebble beach!

The Amanda statue is the symbol of Kerteminde. It was created in 1954 by the artist Robert Lund Jensen and symbolizes the beautiful, graceful daughters of the town. The story of Amanda comes from a girl whose real name was Sophie Krag. Sophie was a young girl from Kerteminde who suffered a sad fate and died of an illness at the age of only 40. She was one of eight children of the watchmaker Edvard Krag and his wife Marie Catrine Ovesen Wittrock. At the age of 20, she traveled to Copenhagen to emulate her sister Augusta Møller and become an actress. She received a job as a revue actress at the Nørrebro Theater, was quickly accepted into the acting world, and became engaged to the writer Anton Melbye, who was ten years older. According to the story, she met an old acquaintance from Kerteminde, the law student Wilhelm Nielsen, with whom she began a flirtation despite their engagement. The end of the story was a tragic annulment of the engagement. The upper middle class was outraged, and a good friend of Anton's, the composer Axel Schwanenflügel, wrote the song "Harper i luften" (Harps in the Air) for the Winter Revue in 1893 – the famous song that begins with the line "Min Amanda var fra Kerteminde" (My Amanda was from Kerteminde). The town of Kerteminde has, of course, long since forgiven its "Amanda" for her unfaithful debauchery and erected a monument to her as a symbol of the beautiful and graceful daughters of Kerteminde, whom one simply cannot help but love. The word Amanda comes from Latin and means "the lovable one." https://www.visitkerteminde.de/kerteminde/sehenswuerdigkeiten/amanda

Drigstrup Church is dedicated to St. Nicholas and has a Romanesque choir and nave, along with a late Gothic tower and porch. Of the original wall openings, only the south door remains. In the late Gothic period, the eight-ribbed cross vault in the choir and nave was added, and the choir walls were raised at the same time, so that their roof ridge is flush with the nave's roof ridge. Somewhat later, around the Reformation period, the low tower with a stepped gable was added. The current altarpiece, a copy of Murillo's Madonna in a Baroque frame, was installed in 1924. https://www.visitkerteminde.de/kerteminde/reiseplanung/drigstrup-kirche-gdk613573

At Hverringe Estate, past and present, nature and culture, production and conservation come together. The history of Hverringe goes back several hundred years. In 1768, Hverringe became the owner's house. The current beautiful, three-winged building was built around 1790 by Hans Rudolph Iuel, who is best known for his efforts during the Napoleonic Wars, where he led an expedition against the English troops on Romsø in 1809. 100 Englishmen were taken prisoner of war and, for lack of better accommodation, imprisoned in Kerteminde Church. The winery is still owned by the Iuel-Reventlow family. Today, it is run as a modern, large-scale business specializing in grass seed. The winery is another major property owner on Hindsholm. The main building is unfortunately private and therefore not open to visitors. https://www.visitkerteminde.dk/kerteminde/planlaeg-din-tur/hverringe-gods-gdk613483

In the beautiful and well-preserved village of Viby, with its many listed buildings, you can visit the old Viby Mill, one of the largest and best-preserved Dutch windmills in Denmark. Viby Mill was built in 1854 to replace a tree stump mill further north. After a fire caused by lightning in 1869, the mill was immediately rebuilt in 1873 and extensively restored in the 1980s. https://www.visitkerteminde.de/kerteminde/reiseplanung/viby-muehle-gdk613575
