King's Garden

King's Garden extends across 2 acres near Odense Palace with curved pathways, protected trees including copper beech, tulip trees, and magnolia specimens.

Johan Cornelius Krieger designed this Baroque garden in 1720, incorporating French principles with a central axis and symmetrical patterns throughout the space.

The park contains two notable statues, including one of Hans Christian Andersen erected by Danish school children, representing local artistic heritage.

The garden location across from Odense station, bounded by Railroad Street and Eastern Stationsvej, makes it easily accessible for visitors.

Over a century after its creation, the garden transformed from its Baroque style to an English garden design with flowing curves and natural arrangements.
