On June 2, 1900, the new Odense Customs Chamber on the corner between Østre Stationsvej and Rugårdsvej was inaugurated after it had been built over the past two years. At the end of the 19th century, the city experienced enormous growth, among other things in connection with the laying of the railway over Fyn in 1865.

For a long time an old customs shed at the harbor and a small building by the railroad had got by, but in the 1890s it was clear that more was needed, and the city's leading architect at the time, Jens Vilhelm Petersen (1851 - 1931), was than Royal building inspector from 1889, so to speak, the obvious choice as architect for the planned, new customs chamber on the railway.

The customs chamber is built of red brick on a granite base, three stories high and with rounded windows / window frames. It has a clear Italian touch, but at the same time the two towers also have features that refer to old Danish mansions. The customs chamber was in operation until 1977 and has since been converted for office purposes.
