Church of Our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke), Nyborg
Highlight • Religious Site
The "Church of Our Lady" was built between 1388 and 1428 and consecrated on Pentecost 1428 by Bishop Navne Jensen Krigebusk. Its patron saint is Mary, the mother of Jesus.
The oldest parts are the four western parts of the church, which were enclosed on the east side by a north-south wall in the early 14th century.
Before 1428, the church was expanded to include the two easternmost parts, the present-day choir, and probably three additional chapels.
At the time of the Reformation, three chapels with a shared roof were built on the south side of the church, and in the 1550s, King Christian III had a new chapel built. The church was
expanded by an additional aisle in the north, running the entire length of the church.
The large west tower and the small east tower were completed around 1600.
Until 1870, the Church of Our Lady appeared as a five-aisled church.
During the extensive renovation of 1870/1871, the outer aisles were demolished on both sides, except for the central nave bays.
Dormers were built over the remaining outer bays, so that the church has since had a transept located unusually far to the west.
Inside, however, the transepts continue to have the same low height as the side aisles.
The church has two organs: the main organ, built in 1973, with 37 stops on three manuals and a pedal, is a work by Poul-Gerhard Andersen; the choir organ, built in 1872 by Johan Andreas Demant, is a single-manual organ with five stops.
A special feature of this church is the design of its vaulted ribs, which are otherwise constructed from the usual short brick segments.
These begin with square limestone corbels.
Human heads – some of them grotesque – have been carved out of several of them.

Amanda Statue of Kerteminde
Highlight • Monument
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 tragic fate and died of an illness at the age of just 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, quickly became 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,
law student Wilhelm Nielsen, with whom she began a flirtation despite their engagement.
The end of the story was a tragic breakup 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 treacherous 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."
