Fredericia

History in The Heart of Jutland

History, nature, experiences and gastronomy

The town of Fredericia is located right on the Little Belt. Here you will find experiences for the whole family. The town itself has a unique history. It was founded in 1660 as a fortress, which according to the dogmas of the time, had to be inhabited in order to function. As a result, 3 villages were abandoned, and about 40 families were forced to move to the town. Only after 1864 did the fortress lose its military importance.

Today, the town greets you with plenty of history and culture. There is a chance to see porpoises up close here when you go on a whale safari, and you can get the whole fascinating story of the town if you take a walk in the town with an electronic guide in your ear or a live guide at your fingertips.
