Middelfart Shipyard

Highlight • Monument

Around 1855, Mads Illum established a berth on the outer side of the west pier at Middelfart Harbor. He specialized in the construction of dinghies for use in guinea pig fishing, angling, and piloting, as well as mainline and towed dinghies for bottom net fishing.

From the late 1950s onward, the shipyard's heyday began with the construction of a large number of fishing boats for Esbjerg and especially for Thyborøn, where the fishing skipper Hans Kirk was the buyer. The largest fishing boat built at the shipyard was the 75-ton "Jens Kirk," built for Hans Kirk in 1971. During these years, the shipyard employed up to a dozen men.

With the decline of the Danish fishing industry, wooden fishing boats for fishing came to an end in the 1980s. In the 1990s, the shipyard's main activity was the repair of old wooden ships.

The shipyard continued this repair business. Within the last year, the shipyard has also built three new dinghies.

Today, the shipyard operates as a museum shipyard and center for maritime history, with a focus on the region's coastal culture and wooden shipbuilding traditions.

Old Harbor of Middelfart

Highlight • Settlement

Middelfart is a seaside town whose history is closely linked to the waters of the Little Belt, ferry traffic and the many harbor porpoises that live in the waters. Middelfart was home to many smaller merchant ships and ferries before the Little Belt bridges connected Funen and Jutland. Today there are 10 traditional ships worth preserving in the harbour.

Holm's Restaurant (Anno 1584)

Highlight • Restaurant

Holms Restaurant on the corner of Algade and Nygade is housed in one of the city's oldest buildings. It was a rich innkeeper who had the red half-timbered house built on two floors with 18 bay windows for Algade in 1584. The property, which was then on the city limits at the east gate, included a lot of land. All traffic from the east had to pass through on the way to Middelfart and on to Jutland.

Almost from the beginning, the farm also functioned as a guest house for the many travelers who were waiting for their goods to clear customs in order to continue their journey. In the 19th century the building became the mayor's residence and the residence of Claudius Madsen, who manufactured Middelfart Avis in those years. The Edsberg family took over the property in 1860 and used it as a private home and guest house.
