Explore Faaborg

Accompany the watchman on his evening round, explore the town on your own, or travel back in time to the 1890s.

Follow The Night Watchman

In 1592, the first night watchman did his rounds in the streets of Faaborg. The watchman’s task was to keep order at night and sound the alarm in case of fire. The tradition was revived in 1995, and so, every evening during summer, the watchman sets off on his round at 8pm from the bell tower. Everyone, big and small, is invited to follow in the watchman’s footsteps – and it’s free of charge.
