This is a geometrically shaped monastery garden with many intricate details. Designed in the 1920s by architect I. P. Sorensen, it consists of a small atrium garden, Fratergarden, with spring bulbs and perennials. In the larger part of the garden, it is possible to explore a collection of more than 125 herbs. Some of these herbs are well known for their medicinal uses. The majority of these herbs cannot be found in your typical garden. It also has benches along one side, where you can sit and enjoy a quiet break or eat your lunch. The garden is open at all hours of the day and is free to visit. It is also considered one of the most suitable places to see in Odense, especially for older citizens.
