The King's Garden, also known as Kongens Have, is a large, formal palace park in the center of Odense, Denmark. The park was created in the 1720s as a Baroque garden

based on a plan by the architect Johann Cornelius Krieger.

It was later transformed into an English landscape garden,

although parts of the original Baroque garden were preserved.

The park is located directly opposite Odense Train Station and covers approximately

2 hectares. It is known for its protected trees, including copper beeches, tulip trees, and magnolias, which are over 100 years old. The park also features several sculptures, including a statue of Hans Christian Andersen.

Especially in summer, the park is frequently used for various cultural events such as open-air concerts and festivals. It is a wonderful place to enjoy nature and relax.

The original baroque garden was laid out around 1720 according to a French design by Johan Cornelius Krieger with a central axis and symmetrical lines. About 100 years later it was converted into an English garden with curved lines. The park contains some protected trees that are over 100 years old. There are two statues, including one by Hans Christian Andersen, which were set up by Danish school children.
