Odense County

Odense County (Danish: Odense Amt) is a former province in Denmark, located on the northern half of the island of Funen in central Denmark.

In 1662, the north Funen area was organized as a total of four counties: Odensegård, Rugård, Assens, and Hindsgavl.

This situation lasted from 1806 to 1970 when Odense and Svendborg merged to form Funen County.

In spiritual matters, the county belonged to the Diocese of Funen.
