Local tips

  • Plan your visit on a weekday late morning or early afternoon, when the shop is open and typically quieter, giving you more time and space to browse the furniture and book sections.
  • Bring your own tote bag or small backpack, as larger items are usually handed over without packaging and you may end up finding more than you expected.
  • If you are looking for furniture or bulky items, check in early in the day and be prepared to arrange transport or a car to move your purchase.
  • Use the visit to pick up practical extras for your trip, such as warm layers, kids’ toys, or a rainproof jacket, at a fraction of typical retail prices.
  • Have some Danish cash or a widely accepted card ready, as small charity shops sometimes have limited payment options or minimum amounts for card payments.

A spacious second-hand treasure trove in Nyborg

Kirkens Korshær Genbrug at Frisengårdsvej 17 is a large, light-filled charity shop slightly away from Nyborg’s busiest streets, with room to move between furniture, rails and shelves without feeling cramped. Here, the Danish tradition of genbrug – the culture of reusing and repurposing – is given plenty of space, with everyday items, curiosities and small gems sharing the floor. Rather than a boutique-style vintage store, this is a functional, down-to-earth shop where practicality and value come first. You step into a setting that feels part warehouse, part living room, with neatly arranged sections helping you navigate from clothing to books, and on to larger pieces of furniture.

From furniture to bookshelves of hidden stories

The heart of the shop is its variety. One corner is dedicated to furniture: dining tables waiting for another family dinner, old wooden chairs with character, and storage pieces ideal for a first flat or a summer house. Nearby, racks of women’s and men’s clothing range from smart jackets and dresses to well-loved everyday wear, often sorted by type and size for easy browsing. Families gravitate toward the children’s section, where kids’ clothes and toys are given a second home. Shelves lined with board games and puzzles sit beside boxes of building blocks and soft toys. Along the walls, rows of books stretch out, from paperbacks and crime novels to coffee-table volumes and cookbooks, inviting you to linger and leaf through.

Charity, community and the spirit of reuse

Kirkens Korshær is a Danish charitable organization, and this store is part of its broader social work. Donated goods are sorted and sold here, and the proceeds help fund support for vulnerable people in Denmark. Shopping in the store is as much about contributing to that mission as it is about finding a bargain. The atmosphere is calm and unhurried, shaped by volunteers and staff who keep the space organized and welcoming. Locals drop off bags and boxes of items, keeping the stock changing from week to week. For visitors, it offers a glimpse of everyday community life in Nyborg, far from the more polished tourist sights.

Browsing pace and practical details for your visit

Most people visit with a loose idea of what they might find rather than a strict shopping list. It is the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time, wandering from kitchenware to ornaments and small décor pieces, comparing styles and imagining how things might look in your own home. The store’s size makes it suitable both for a quick scan and for a more thorough hunt through the rails and shelves. Opening hours are typically Monday to Friday from mid-morning to late afternoon, with a shorter window on Saturdays and closed Sundays, so it fits well into a daytime itinerary exploring Nyborg. There is usually enough space to navigate with ease, including with bags or a small pram, though very large furniture purchases may require some planning to transport.

Why this genbrug stop belongs in a Nyborg itinerary

Including Kirkens Korshær Genbrug in a visit to Nyborg adds a different flavour to a day of castles, beaches and harbour walks. It is a chance to engage with the city in a more ordinary, authentic way, rubbing shoulders with residents searching for practical items or a good book. For budget-conscious travellers, it can be an excellent spot to pick up extra layers of clothing for the Danish weather, toys to entertain children on the road, or small household items if you are staying in self-catering accommodation. For others, the appeal lies in the serendipity of second-hand shopping and the satisfaction of choosing reused over new.

Small discoveries and sustainable choices

Every corner of the store carries the quiet charm of second-hand life: a set of mismatched cups perfect for a holiday cottage, a lamp with retro character, a picture frame ready for a new photograph. Many visitors leave with something unplanned – a paperback for the train, a scarf that matches a jacket, or a piece of pottery that becomes a souvenir. Beyond the individual finds, the shop embodies a sustainable approach to consumption. By extending the life of objects, it reduces waste and makes everyday goods more accessible. Spending time here is a reminder that a meaningful travel experience can also be as simple as browsing gently used items in a friendly, local shop.
