Medieval Monasteries of Odense

In the Middle Ages, the many monasteries in Odense were a source of knowledge, medicine, and salvation. It was an economic giant that erected the majestic buildings that, in some places, still tower over the beautiful city center.

The monasteries connected the city with God, the king, and the pope, making Odense an international and royal city in the early Middle Ages.

Thus, Odense is part of a history that international bestselling authors have successfully conveyed. Umberto Eco and Jan Guillou are just a few of the names that have immortalized the history of nuns, monks, and monasteries.

And in all modesty, I will bring you into the fantastic tale of Odense's six medieval monasteries. Join me on a journey back to the Middle Ages, a journey that covers everything from Odense Castle to the bishop's current private residence.
