Art and Local History

Kunsttårn 7 is associated with Fuglsbølle and is located at Skovsbovej 22. It displays Jonna Pedersen’s work “Sammenhold”. At Fuglsbøllevej 17, there is also a thatched half-timbered house dating from 1770. Another historical reference in Fuglsbølle is the combined hospital and school building, which Birgitte Sofie Olufsdatter Hansen founded in 1728 in accordance with her husband’s will. In Fuglsbølle, these historical references are located at specific buildings: the half-timbered house at Fuglsbøllevej 17 and the combined hospital and school building founded in 1728. The year 1728 refers to the founding, while 1770 is the construction year of the half-timbered house.

Cycling through Fuglsbølle

Regional Route 82+83 passes through Fuglsbølle and is signposted. Three kilometres of the route run along gravel roads. With a total length of 65 km, the route runs between Rudkøbing, Bagenkop and Spodsbjerg. The 65 km refers to the entire Regional Route, not to a more specifically defined section in Fuglsbølle. For a day of cycling through Fuglsbølle, the total length of 65 km and the three-kilometre gravel section should therefore be considered separately. The signposted connection runs between Rudkøbing, Bagenkop and Spodsbjerg; Fuglsbølle lies along this route. On a complete route ride, the 65 km distance is the relevant overall scope, while the three kilometres of gravel concern the surface of one section. On Regional Route 82+83, signage, surface and route alignment are specific practical considerations for a day of cycling through Fuglsbølle.
