The Christmas ball 2012

The old mayor's house in Nyborg

The old mayor's house in Nyborg was built in 1601 by the mayor and grocer Mads Lerche (c. 1560-1608).

It was located on one of the main thoroughfares through the town with a beautiful view of Nyborg Castle and continues to be an important part of the unique urban space King Christian III (1536-1559) created as he expanded and fortified both Nyborg Castle and city as a carefully planned royal residence city - indeed, the country's first real capital.

The beautiful half-timbered building houses the city's cultural history museum.

The Christmas ball is produced in a limited number and is made of hand-painted glass.

The ball is sold out.
