Night Watchman's Walk
Night Watchman's Walk
Follow the watchman on a unique walk and hear the watchman's songs and the exciting stories about the city of Faaborg.
In 1592, the first watchman began his nightly rounds through the streets of Faaborg. Employed by the city, his primary duties included monitoring for fires and keeping drunkards and other troublemakers in check. Armed with a morning star, a lamp, and clad in a uniform, he patrolled the narrow streets from 8 PM until 4 AM. Each hour, he would sing a verse from the watchman's songs, helping residents, who rarely owned watches, keep track of the time throughout the night.
On this tour, you will walk alongside a watchman through Faaborg's narrow streets, listening to tales of the city and the men who once held this long-lost occupation. The watchman will meet you at the pier, provide a brief introduction, and then guide you on a unique journey through a city he knows like the back of his hand, sharing stories of the people who once lived in Faaborg.
