The medieval Fortress and "The Town Wall" in Nyborg
In this block, you will find a 110-metre-long wall built of boulders. The wall stands up to two metres high and is considered to be a section of the city wall that surrounded Nyborg during the Middle Ages.
4 "The Town Wall" and the Medieval Fortress
In this section of the town there is a 110-metre long wall of large stones. It is in places two metres high and is thought to be part of the town wall that encompassed Nyborg in the Middle Ages. Written sources, however, mention only a “rampart and moat”, and the wall thus perhaps merely refers to a stone structure on the north side of the moat.
The path alongside follows the medieval moat Rosenbækken, also called Skidtrenden (“the gutter”). This is now filled in, but in Skippergade the street follows the route of the medieval moat. Entrance is from Adelgade.
