Bogense Municipality

Until 1 January 2007 Bogense municipality was a municipality (Danish, kommune) in Funen County on the north coast of the island of Funen in central Denmark.

The municipality included a number of small islands in the Kattegat (Dræet Ø, Æbelø) off its northwest coast, and covered an area of 102 km2.

Its mayor was Arne Kruse, a member of the Social Democrats (Socialdemokraterne) political party.

It was originally planned that the new entity should have continued the name Bogense but this decision was overturned by a local referendum in June 2006.

This result was later approved by Danish Interior Minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen.
