ODENSE

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 2 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
ODENSE , a city of Denmark, the
chief
  town of the amt (county) of its name, which forms the northern part of the
island
  of Funen (Fyen). Pop. (1901) 40,138. The city lies 4 M. from Odense Fjord on the Odense Aa, the main portion on the north side of the stream, and the industrial Albani quarter on the
south
  side. It has a station on the railway route between
Copenhagen
  and Jutland and Schleswig-Holstein via Korsor. A canal, 15z to 21 ft. deep, gives access to the town from the fjord. St Canute's
cathedral
 , formerly connected with the
great
 
Benedictine
  monastery of the same name, is one of the largest and finest buildings of its kind in Denmark. It is constructed of brick in a pure
Gothic
  style. Originally dating from 10811093, it was rebuilt in the 13th century. Under the altar lies Canute (Knud), the patron saint of Denmark, who intended to dispute with William of Normandy the possession of England, but was slain in an insurrection at Odense in 1086; Kings John and Christian II. are also buried within the walls. Our Lady's church, built in the 13th century and re-stored in 18511852 and again in 1864, contains a carved altar-piece (16th century) by Claus Berg of Lubeck. Odense Castle was erected by Frederick IV., who died there in 1730. In Albani are tanneries, iron-foundries and machine-shops. Ex-ports, mostly agricultural produce (butter,
bacon
 , eggs); imports, iron, petroleum, coal, yarn and timber.
. Odense, or Odinsey, originally Odinsoe, i.e. Odin's
island
 , is one of the oldest cities of Denmark. St Canute's shrine was a
great
 . resort of pilgrims throughout the middle ages. In the 16th century the town was the meeting-place of several parliaments, and down to 1805 it was the seat of the provincial assembly of Funen.
