    Odense Castle is located in the city center and has shaped its surroundings for over 500 years. Originally built in the late 13th century as a monastery for the Knights of St. John, the building changed hands and functions after the Reformation. In 1575, King Frederik II transformed the old monastery into a royal palace.

    The current complex has been renovated several times. At the beginning of the 18th century, Frederik IV desired a modern residence. The architect Johan Cornelius Krieger designed a new main wing in the Baroque style and laid out a symmetrical castle garden in the 1720s – today's Royal Garden.

    The castle was further expanded in 1837 when the architect Jørgen Hansen Koch added an additional wing, giving the building its present form.
