Husby between Church Culture, Beach and Trails

Anyone wishing to combine coast, churches and trails in Husby will find several clear points of connection. Husby Beach represents the coastal aspect, while Husby Church brings together art, history and music. The surrounding area is complemented by an expansive landscape and a 4.8-kilometre route that complete the picture of the place.

Husby Church: a visible landmark and historical details

Husby Church is clearly visible from a distance because of its striking yellow limestone façade and onion-shaped dome. Inside, the wall paintings display inscriptions and coats of arms. The altar is a 16th-century wood carving from the workshop of Claus Berg in Odense. The two side chapels are located behind wrought-iron gates. The north chapel contains sarcophagi belonging to the Wedellsborg family. One chapel of the Wedellsborg family houses seven stone sarcophagi containing members of the Wedell family.

Visits, the Church Trail and music

Husby Church is included in Kirkefondet’s route-church programme. Different daily opening hours apply for visits: in summer, the church is open from 08:00 to 18:00, and in winter from 08:00 to 16:00. The four churches of De 4 Kirker are open for visits during the day. Most concerts by the De 4 Kirker group take place in Husby Church; at the same time, the church has unusually good acoustics. This aspect of the place is therefore particularly relevant to you if you include sacred spaces, historical furnishings or music in your travel planning.

West Funen between fields and medieval churches

In the vicinity of Husby lies the well-preserved Wedellsborg manor landscape on West Funen. It is characterised by large fields and the absence of urban development. Four medieval churches provide another cultural and historical setting: they are located in Føns, Ørslev, Udby and Husby, scattered across the hilly landscape between Lake Fønsvang and the Little Belt. Those wishing to consider landscape and architectural history together will find various specific points of interest here instead of a purely urban setting.

Husby Beach and a route for active days

Husby Beach can be reached via Husby Strandvej and is located approximately one kilometre from Tybrindvej. In the vicinity of Husby, the yellow route of Sporet ved Ejby og Kingstrup Mose is 4.8 km long in total. The route may be used on foot and by bicycle. This allows you to include a visit to the beach and a short active route as separate points of focus in your planning, without combining the two destinations into a single route.
