About

Odense Prison - historical building

Tugthuset - or Odense Tugt- og Manufakturhus - is located in Klaregade right in the middle of Odense. The building was erected in 1752 as a penal and forced labour institution for criminals and poor people from Odense and Funen. The poor house in Odense was not the only one. At the same time, King Frederik V built reformatories in Stege, Viborg and Copenhagen to imprison the poor and outcasts so that they could work for a living.
