It is named after the king Cnut the Holy, who was murdered here in 1086. His bones are on display in the crypt. King Hans and Christian II are also buried in Odense Cathedral.
The magnificent altarpiece dating back to the 1500s and carved by Claus Berg is well worth examining in detail.
On Wednesdays, due to noon prayers, it is not possible to move around the church from 11.45 to 12.30.
