Cathedral in the Gothic style of King Canute the Holy, who became a martyr nearby in 1086. His tomb and that of his brother are in the crypt with many other burial stones of dignitaries of the day.
St. Canute's Cathedral, also known as Odense Cathedral, is named after the Danish king Canute the Saint, otherwise Canute IV. It is a fine example of Brick Gothic architecture. The church's most visited section is the crypt where the remains of Canute and his brother Benedict are on display.

A garden commemorating H.C. Andersen. Large flower arrangements, a river and an ice cream shop make this park an ideal location for a picnic. The small attractions of the park include a pergola, the “Chinese Wall” a statue of Hans Christian Andersen and close by – in the river – there is a sculpture of a paper boat (a prop from one of H.C. Andersen's fairy tales).
This is the house where Andersen was supposedly born (though he would never confirm it). The little yellow corner house has become an Odense icon and is perhaps the city's most photographed house.
The "Nun Hill" is one of five Viking Age ring fort remains to be listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
