Denmark's only Potato Museum

Near Odense Fjord there is the beautiful and more than 200 years old manor, called Hofmansgave.

In the beautiful park, which has a wonderful view over the fjord, there is rare trees and plants imported in the 1830's from around the world.

In the beautiful park you also find Denmark's Potato Museum. The potato has had its very own museum. It is probably the only potato museum in the world.

The museum opened in 2000. Here is the museum designed as a tribute to the genus Hofmann-Bang, who worked tirelessly farmers' welfare including by teaching them to growing and eating potatoes. It was the priests and masters men there were spreading the awareness of the potato on Fyn. Around the 1800's there was only one man in the entire northern part of Fyn, which bred potatoes - Hofmann-Bang on Hofmansgave.

The Potato Museum has put Otterup and Nordfyns Council on the world map.
