Mads Lerches Gård (Mads Lerches House)
Of all the places in Funen, this 1601 house, the former home of Mads Lerche, the town mayor, provides the best insight into what life was like in the 17th century -- that is, if you had some money in the bank. The house, painted a reddish pink, is filled with exhibitions on local history, but far more intriguing than that are the antiques-filled period chambers spread over 30 rooms on two floors. There's even a small brewery on-site, which every home in the 1600s should have had but didn't.
