Troense

A captains’ village on Tåsinge, with thatched houses and gardens lined up along the strait. It is often named one of Denmark’s most beautiful villages.

Troense lies on the northeast coast of Tåsinge. In the 19th century it was a village where shipping captains lived. Along its long Seaview Street stand yellow captains’ houses with thatched roofs and elegant gardens, facing the Svendborg Sound. In summer you can take the old steamship Helge from Svendborg, and it is convenient to visit the nearby Valdemar’s Castle in the same half-day. The village has a small harbor and cafés. Cycling from Svendborg over the bridge takes about 20 minutes.
