FAABORG HARBOUR HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Faaborg Harbour offers street food, concerts by the water, arts and culture at the former slaughterhouse, and lots more.

The former slaughterhouse grounds at Faaborg Harbour are undergoing a transformation. The last remaining meat-processing building at the harbour is Tulip-bygningen, which has recently been repurposed. Throughout the year, you can visit the former factory and experience cultural events, make new culinary discoveries, or participate in creative activities in a unique industrial setting. Stop by and feel the raw vibe!

Don’t miss Øhavsmuseet – the new museum of nature – or the visitors centre of Geopark The South Fyn Archipelago. You can also go for a swim at the harbour bath, marvel at the wooden ships, or enjoy the many nice restaurants.

Faaborg – Small Town, Great Experiences

Take your time discovering Faaborg – the market town, which was one of Fyn’s most important ports in the 18th century. With its stunning scenery and interesting cultural sights, Faaborg offers excitement for days.

FAABORG MUSEUM – A WORK OF ART IN ITSELF

Faaborg Museum is quite extraordinary. It is constructed specifically for the artworks of the Fyn Painters (a group of local artists around 1900) and comprises painting, sculpture, architecture, and furniture design. The museum is an architectural gem in itself, and one of the most significant buildings of Danish neo-classicism. Call ahead to book a guided tour in English.

THE JAILHOUSE – COME IN AND BREAK OUT!

The former jailhouse is bound to get you thinking. How does it feel when the door slams shut and you find yourself behind bars? A visit to the jailhouse is a great learning experience, for both kids and adults. You will learn about prisons past and present – and about your own attitudes towards justice and punishment.

Kaleko Mill

How did we process grain 100 years ago? Find out at Kaleko Mill, which is the oldest preserved water mill for processing grain in Denmark. There is a special vibe to the thatched and half-timbered mill, making you feel as though you have travelled back in time.

Take The Vintage Train

Experience a train ride out of the 1950s aboard the vintage train from Den Syd Fyenske Veteranjernbane. During the half-hour trip from Faaborg to Korinth, you can enjoy the views of the lovely South Fyn landscape and the archipelago.

THE BELL TOWER – FAABORG’S LANDMARK

The bell tower is Faaborg’s best-known landmark. After the Reformation in 1536, the Church of St. Nicholas was torn down, and only the bell tower was left standing. The view from atop the tower, overlooking the town’s red roofs, the hills of Svanninge Bakker, and the South Fyn Archipelago, is simply magnificent. The saying goes that a true child of Faaborg will never move so far away as to lose sight of the bell tower.

ØHAVSMUSEET – DISCOVER YOURSELF

Øhavsmuseet is the first museum in Denmark to focus on you – the visitor – rather than objects or long explanatory texts. A visit to Øhavsmuseet is all about learning more about yourself and the impact that nature has on you, through your own reactions to different natural stimuli – and, perhaps, the reactions of your friends and family. You can also learn more about the Stone Age, the South Fyn Archipelago, and bog sacrifices in the Iron Age.
