The little pictoresque town between the old ferries across Lillebælt got its name as it was the middle of three crossings (fart): Middelfart (Yes, the name sounds silly in English!)

The streets and the architecture testify the history of the charming coastal town from the Middle Ages till today. Real people and their stories are part of the tale. A small seafaring and agricultural settlement going through the age of industrialization.

The modern thriving town shows world class architecture and Scandinavia's very best museum of ceramic art, CLAY.
