The old inn in Odense

Tweet

One of the oldest buildings in Odense is called "The old inn". The building is from 1683, and it hasn't always been an inn. In the past the building belonged to a carpenter, a shoemaker, a baker etc. In 1874 the building became a cafe. The cafe had two rooms - one room for men and one room for women. Couples were not allowed to sit together. Male customers were able to order alcohol, but female customers were not allowed to drink alcohol. In 1937 a man bought the building, and it became an inn. Many changes have happened since that time, but it is still an inn. The old rules about separate rooms and no alcohol for women were abolished a long time ago. I have seen the inn from the outside, but I have never been inside. Their food used to be really expensive. At that time I couldn't even afford a sandwich It is still pretty expensive compared to other restaurants in the area, but not as expensive as it used to be. I would love to see the inside of the inn especially the basement (the oldest part of the building). According to the legends it is haunted. Photo: mine
