During the Middle Ages, Odensee was the center of Danish clergy, with numerous monasteries and churches, and many churchgoers came here to make pilgrimages. The St. Kenut Church on the edge of the central square looks bland on the outside, but the 16th-century Luo brother-style altar inside will surprise every churchman who comes here. Built in the 14th century, St. Kenut Church is a Gothic church, it took more than 200 years to complete, it is a great building that reflects Odensee's wealth and status in the Middle Ages. St. Kenut Church is the place where Odense writer Andersen was baptized and where his parents held their weddings.
