Ørbæk is a town in central Denmark, located in Nyborg municipality on the island of Funen.

[2] In the 1800s, Ørbæk was an important village, located centrally with roads directly to Odense, Nyborg, Svendborg, Faaborg and Assens.

This central position made it possible for Ørbæk to acquire facilities that other villages of the time didn't have, such as a postal office.

After 1962 the railway no longer transported passengers, and in 1969-70 a town hall was built in Ørbæk's old station building.

The market was helt the 2nd Saturday in July every year until 1957, where the industrialization meant that horses were no longer necessary.
