History of Munke Mose Park Odense

In 1881, the Municipality of Odense bought the grounds around the Monks Mill Factory to prevent it from being built on.

It was a low-lying marsh and meadow area, which was used for grazing and mowing. The area was often flooded by the river in the winter and was then used for skating.

In 1912, a merchant named Daehnefeldt offered to pay two thirds of the costs towards turning the area into a park. So he and contacted the gardener Glaesel and requested that he drew up some plans for its development.

Today Munke Mose Park is mainly used for informal outdoor activities, although it is the venue for two traditional celebrations of the year, which are, May Workers Day and ‘Last day of school’.

There are many cool streets that lead off from Munke Mose Park and Hans Christian Andersen’s House is also not far from the park. So, if you have time, that is also definitely worth checking out.

You will find Hans Christian Andersen’s iconic yellow corner house (the fairytale author’s actual birth place) on a cobbled street in the old part of Odense, where all the unique, pastel coloured houses are.

Hans Christian Andersen’s House opened in 1908 as a museum and tells the story of the author’s life. It is one of the world’s oldest poet museums and is visited by people from all over the world.
