Tårup is a small, but very lively village on East Funen, 10 kilometres from Nyborg Castle and the city of Nyborg itself as well as the motorway to Jutland and Zealand. We have superfast fibre broadband, many local sports and activity clubs, passionate inhabitants, a village council and a very active community. Children only have to travel a few kilometres to get to school. They ride on a cycle path or take the school bus. Of course, East Funen is also famous for its beautiful scenery – and we live right in the middle of it. Our neighbours are the eagles above us, the forests around us and the fresh bathing water of the Great Belt.

Regisse Spring to which pilgrims flocked in Catholic times can be found south-west of Frørup. As a pilgrimage church, the church enjoyed substantial income from the sale of spring water, and it was expanded and became quite large in proportion to the size of the village. In the 16th century, a market arose around the spring, but it degenerated and was finally abolished. In 1903, the spring was restored by local men.

Step into the burial mound of the Ladby Ship to view the remains of the ship. Experience many other Viking Age finds in the exhibition building which tells the story of the Viking period in the area around Kerteminde. View the museum’s interpretation of a Ladby nobleman’s funeral and last journey: The Ship of Death. Outside, the reconstruction of the large Viking ship from the grave is being built. With the enchanting fjord landscape and the museum’s use of art in its exhibitions – this is an extraordinary experience.
