...the history of the Funen Village
The Funen Village opened up to the public in 1946. Back the museum consisted of only 8 houses, today we have 26 buildings.
Originally the museum was intended to communicate the history of old farm houses, build in half timber and with thatched roofs. In the beginning of the 20th Century these buildings were disappearing from the Funen countryside. By the establishment of the Funen Village it was hoped that the memory of the old style of building would not vanish.
