Individual Sights in Odense C

Sight 1: Gråbrødre Klosterkirke

Show sight on map

Graabrødre Klosterkirke in Odense was part of Gråbrødre Kloster. The church was built in the late 1200s and came to house many distinguished burials, the first being two of Erik Glipping's daughters. King Hans' queen, Christine, who around the year 1500 lived in Odense, decorated the church with, among other things, Claus Berg's Altarpiece and allowed herself to be buried here together with her husband. Since then, her son, Christian II, was also buried in the church. After the Reformation, the church fell into disrepair and in the early 1800s it was demolished and the burial grounds moved to St. Canute's Church. In the late 1800s, a smaller chapel was built at Gråbrødre Hospital in a different place than the former church.

Thriges Power Station is a well-preserved industrial building containing a rare intact interior from the infancy of electrical engineering. The power station is owned by the real estate company Olav de Linde, but has since 2007 also served as a visitor point under Møntergården. Particularly interesting is the opportunity to see the original B&W diesel generator from 1923, which is started up every month. The generator is started on the first Sunday of each month by the Diesel Group, which consists of a number of volunteer engine experts, so that the public has the opportunity to see and hear the old machine in operation.
