By European standards, Fredericia is a rather new city. It was founded in 1650 by Frederick III and has a population of 40,886 as of January 1, 2022. Here are some of the older buildings and more typical ones of downtown.
This is one of the older buildings. It sits on a Foundation of Rocks and rough-hewn Timber. It has received a lot of love to keep it looking so well and it looks like it is still serving a useful purpose.
