the funen village

It feels like out on the country, even though it is close to the city center. Beautiful grounds, farm animals, great pickninck spots.

If you want to get more familiar with Danish culture and architecture or if you just want to spend your afternoon at a really cute place you should visit the Funen Village. There you find adorable little houses from all over Denmark situated in a picturesque park. It is an ideal place to visit with children too. You will go home with really cute pictures! :-)

The Funen Village is original buildings from the age of Hans Christian Andersen. Every building is carefully disassembled on its original site and rebuild in the village.

Well, we did like it, but not very much.I think that if you have children, is more interesting.The problem is that we expected too much... but I would go again, without any doubt.I just think that if you don't have much time, it is not a no miss attraction.

The Funen Village, or Den Fynske Landsby, is a lovely place to visit to really get a feel of the history and culture of rural/historical Denmark. My mother and I spent the better part of a day visiting all the farms, buildings, and grounds. The local theater group was performing The Little Duckling while we were there, but since it was presented in Danish, we didn't attend - which means we had the rest of the park almost to ourselves. There is a lot of ground to cover, so I recommend taking the horse & wagon ride. All of the buildings are set up as they were/or may have been while in use, which is super cool. We took our lunch (just sandwiches) and it was easy to find a nice table to eat at. There are locations in the park, though, to purchase food. I would definitely go here again - it's worth a visit!

This open air museum has a number of Danish building which include typical Danish architecture. The village is located close to Odense and is worth a visit.

The place is really beautiful, and gives you the sensation of 19th century village. The downside is the Living History activities end at 15:30 but usually the "villagers" leave the place before then. And there isn't a Living History animation at the weekends. If you are working; unless you take a day off, there is no way you can participate in this event which is pretty much the thing that gives the soul to the place.And the Village is closed until spring after 19th of October!

Funen Village is one of the best open air museums in Denmark, displaying buildings from the 19th century. A stroll through the village gives a great impression of life in the countryside in a pre industrial / early industrial society. The village often has activities showing the way of life at harvest time, Christmas or spring.

Farms, windmills, a few animals. We couldn't stay long but it was quite interesting with a few dressed up people wandering around in clogs. Not expensive either about £6 each.

This isn't a Renaissance village teeming with stuff to do or be overwhelmed by. Rather it stays true to a simpler time, enjoy a relaxing picnic while strolling the grounds or indulge in some delicious authentic Danish food in one of the restaurants. Bonus - gift shop is huge!

Go to the Funen village during mid week in order to skip the crowds. Lots of things to see if you´re interested in the old history and buildings. It is possible to take a horse carriage ride through the park and I recommend it. The old jail and the old school is my favourite.

Visiting at the end of the season, I was unable to take the boat trip, but took the train and walked through the woods. I'd highly recommend this for at least one leg of your travel to/from Odense. The autumn colours were a definite highlight. I enjoyed the village, it was well setup so you can walk into most of the buildings and explore. Great insight into a past time. If you're travelling with Children it would be a perfect day out - there are lots of activities to keep them occupied (and free for under 18s). For a solo traveller such as myself it was also interesting though.Please note that it is closed for the season though until the 28th March now except for one weekend in December.

A group of old Danish houses, rebuilt in a nice environment , with artisans, antiques and old times tools. A nice reconstruction of past Fyn Island culture.

We took the boat ride from Munke Mose to the village. The boat ride and the walk along the woods were romantic and a must-do. There was nothing much happening in the village but the entire area was beautiful with farm animals and lush greenery. The history of the village and its occupants were interesting and nicely portrayed. The restaurant boasted of nice dishes but they were very average when served. The roads were rugged, synonymous with the surrounding and were difficult for the strollers.

The Funen Village was a real surprise. A whole traditional Danish village setup with farm animals and the chance to ride on a horse and cart. It doesn't sound like much but on a nice day it is great to walk around and learn more. You can take your own food and drink to have a picnic or buy a snack there.It is also the location of Odense's best restaurant Sortebro Kro so you could have a meal there as well!Plenty of free parking on-site as well.
