Tommerup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

Most villagers work in the more urbanised areas, but cattle is also kept and Tommerup is home to a stone factory. Because of clay shortages, this factory is mainly used for special ceramic products, such as a vase, five metres high, which was exhibited on the World's Fair in Sevilla, in 1992.

In 1996, Tommerup declared itself Cultural Village of Europe. In 1999, it became part of the European network of villages known as Cultural Village of Europe.

Near Tommerup there is the tallest construction in Denmark (except Greenland), the 321.3 metre tall guyed mast of Tommerup transmitter.
