Assens was already a trading town in the Middle Ages, and the port has always been an important transhipment point. Market rights can be traced back to 1524. The mighty Frauenkirche testifies to the prosperity of the city. Trade grew steadily during industrialization, also thanks to the financially strong merchant courts. The old town center with its courtyards is well preserved, there is much to discover.

At the head of the harbor is the statue of Peter Willemoes. The naval officer was born in Assens in 1783. He became famous for his heroic action in the naval battle of Copenhagen (Danish: Slaget på Reden) in 1801. The Danish naval hero fell at the age of 24 in a battle against the English fleet.
