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