Nyborg is a castle town on Funen's east side, suiting groups who arrive from Copenhagen by train and want a home for four to seven. The homes are spread around the town rather than in the centre, so most stays need a car.
Nyborg is the easternmost settlement on Funen, home to about 18,000 people. Nyborg Castle, first mentioned in 1193, has been a museum since the garrison left in 1913, and old ramparts and moats run through the centre. The church of Vor Frue was built between 1375 and 1428, and Nørregade is the pedestrian shopping street. The homes lie around the town rather than in one cluster. None has a pool, many have a fireplace and most sleep four to seven. The 18 km Great Belt link to Zealand begins at Knudshoved, near the town.
