Murals in Frørup

The village of Frørup has been enriched with two murals that adorn the old smithy and invite visitors on a visual journey through the village's rich history and legends.

The murals, created by artist Anne Pedersen, are the culmination of a collaborative project involving the local community. Residents and schoolchildren contributed ideas for the motifs, ensuring that the artworks truly reflect the heart of Frørup.

The art project is titled "Kulturarven i Frørup" (The Cultural Heritage of Frørup) and the first painting depicts the story of Regisse Spring. According to legend, Regisse was a devout Christian woman who was martyred for her faith. The floating white figure is Regisse and the droplets represent the miraculous spring that sprang forth from the spot from which she fell.

The second mural displays a series of symbols that represent Frørup's cultural heritage. These include the local church, a school bus, a horseshoe symbolizing the village's blacksmithing tradition, an oak tree planted in 1915 to celebrate women's suffrage, a half-timbered house representing Frørup's past, a common toad telling the tale of the magical toad that spits out money, and the droplets symbolizing Regisse Spring.
