A Morning in Christiansfeld, Denmark鈥檚 Only UNESCO Town, Christiansfeld, Denmark
Christiansfeld is a town like no other in Denmark. It was founded in 1773 by the Moravian Church (or 鈥榯he Unity of the Brethren鈥�) as its centre in Denmark, and named after the Danish king at the time, Christian VII. All the historic buildings are so well-preserved that it鈥檚 considered the best example of Moravian Church architecture in the world.
When I was researching聽my September 2020聽roadtrip to Schleswig-Holstein and Helgoland, I realized that Christiansfeld would be just a few kilometres from my route. I鈥檇 been curious about the town for a while so I decided to make it the first stop on my trip.
I picked up my rental car in the early morning and headed south along fog-covered roads. I began my journey through Christiansfeld in the countryside, with a look at Bulladen, a half-timbered farm from 1668 built exclusively in wood without the use of nails and screws. It鈥檚 the largest of its kind in Denmark with a length of 36 metres!

The forest is small but it boasts many monuments, small buildings including a chapel and two ponds with fountains. Various hiking trails lead through the forest, making it an idyllic spot for a day out in nature. Christinero was created by chamberlain Christina Friederica von Holstein in the late 18th century, and she was laid to rest there when she passed over in 1812. ......
