Anne Hvide's House is a remarkably preserved half-timbered merchant's house from the 1500s, now a museum of local history. Visitors can explore period rooms with original furnishings, a kitchen, and a courtyard. Exhibits highlight Svendborg's role as a Hanseatic trading hub and the life of Anne Hvide, a wealthy widow who owned the house. The museum offers a vivid glimpse into the domestic and commercial world of the Renaissance.
