Anne Hvide's House

Anne Hvide's House is a two-storey, half-timbered building in Svendborg on the Danish island of Funen. One of the oldest houses in the town, it was built in 1560 by Anne Hvide, a widow of noble descent. It was used as an inn from 1837 to 1867. After being restored in 1916, it became a museum with exhibitions relating to the history of Svendborg.
Anne Hvide was the second last of the famous Danish Hvide clan founded by Skjalm Hvide in the 11th century. She was the wife of nobleman Jesper Friis who successfully led the artillery against the Lübeckers at Karnan near Helsingborg. At the time of his death in 1558, he and his wife lived in Rødkilde, an old manor house near Ulbølle to the west of Svendborg.
Like many other ladies of her day, Anne Hvide wanted a house in the town where she could spend the winter months. On a plot she acquired near the Church of Our Lady, she and her husband began building a residence in 1557.
