The "Havhesten" (Seahorse) is a famous sculpture and fountain in Odense. Located at the entrance to Munke Mose Park, directly on the banks of the Odense River (near the Slusebroen, or Lock Bridge), it depicts a powerful, snorting mythical creature with the upper body of a horse and a mermaid on its back. The sculpture is made of bronze.

Created by the Danish sculptor Carl Hugo Liisberg, the artwork was erected in 1939. The sculpture is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's play "Agnete and the Water Sprite," specifically by Agnete's lullaby, which was part of one of Andersen's more dramatic poems. The figure symbolizes the connection between humans and the mythical creatures of the water.

The sculpture is a popular attraction in Munke Mose and a distinctive landmark of the city.

Munke Mose Fish Ladder

Highlight • Structure

The fish ladder is located at Munke Mose in central Odense and was built in 2006 to ensure that fish can move freely throughout the Odense River. It's a popular spot for gatherings with friends and family, especially when the sun is shining.

Nearby you'll also find:
Odense Aafart, which sails the river in summer and rents rowboats and pedal boats.


Nelle's Coffee, which makes sure you get a delicious latte for your break in the countryside.

A cute little playground inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale about Thumbelina.

The sculpture "The Seahorse," which guards the river right at the park's entrance.

St. Alban's Church (Danish: Sankt Albani Kirke) is the Roman Catholic parish church of Odense. The foundation stone for the neo-Gothic style church was laid on October 21, 1906, and on October 25, 1908, the unfinished building was consecrated and dedicated to Our Lady, Saint Alban and Saint Canute.
The building was designed by the German architect Ludwig Schneider from Breslau. The glass pictures were created by Georg Schneider from Regensburg in Bavaria. The organ comes from the company Gebrüder Rieger from Jägerndorf in Austria-Silesia and the altarpiece was created in 1908 by Konrad Martiner from Sankt Ulrich in Tirol.
The church was and is a contact point for immigrants, mostly Germans and Poles, and in recent years more and more Vietnamese Catholics.
