Go on a tour of the pretty castles and manor houses in the countryside from Odense Fjord to the Langesø Woods

Our beautiful mansions and castles are the pearls of the northern Funen countryside: 15 beautiful and very different mansions. Some of them you can visit, some of them you can even stay at, and ypu can also go on a nice sightseeing tour past the North Funen castles - they are also impressive to look at from the outside.

Visit the castle!
