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."

Emaus Church Kerteminde
Highlight • Religious Site
It was built in 1868 and consecrated on January 24, 1869.
The builder was Hansen from Svendborg. The church is a yellow brick building
in the shape of a cross with jagged gables and a tower.
The altarpiece is by J.P. Bless from 1869 and depicts the disciples in Emmaus after Marstrand's painting of the Fåborg Church. A beautiful granite baptismal font is located in the church.
There is a garden surrounding the church, which also houses the rectory.
A memorial plaque on the church wall states the following:
Ole Henrik Svane lived here from 1814 to 1825.
He dedicated his work to the blessing of Christian life in Kerteminde and the surrounding area.
A witness to this is the congregation, which erected this memorial to him.
The plaque originally hung above the door of the house at Langegade 39.
It was removed when the house was remodeled.
The congregation wanted to preserve the plaque and therefore placed it next to the church.
