Carl Nielsens Barndomshjem - Nr. Lyndelse, Danmark - Childhood Homes on Waymarking.com

Huset blev bygget i 1850'erne. Carl Nielsens forældre, Maren Kirstine og Niels 'Maler' Jørgensen, købte huset i marts 1878. Med en kort afbrydelse i sommeren 1878 boede Carl Nielsen her frem til november 1879, hvor han kom i lære som militærmusiker i Odense.

Carl Nielsens opvækst i det midtfynske var præget af den folkemusik, som trivedes her. Som seksårig satte han sin første violin til hagen, og som niårig skrev han sin første polka. I museets udstilling kan du få meget mere at vide om hans barndom, familie, livet på egnen og ikke mindst hans musik.



The house, which is situated about 15 kilometres south of Odense on the main road between Odense and Faaborg between the villages Nr. Lyndelse and Nr. Søby, was Carl Nielsen’s childhood home. It was converted into a museum in 1956.

The museum in this cosy house tells the story of Carl Nielsen’s childhood and of the working and musical life of the Nielsen home, which was to be decisive for Carl Nielsen’s development both as a musician and composer.
