history

The name Munkebo is derived from the word Munkebothae (Danish munkenes boder ). He refers to the monks of the Sankt Knuds monastery in Odense, who founded the place because it was near fish-rich waters. The place belonged to them until the Reformation reached the area in 1536.

From the 1950s, the place underwent a major change with the establishment of Lindøværft. During this time, the population grew rapidly: from around 1,000 in 1955 to around 5,000 in 1965.

Until 2006 the place belonged to the Munkebo municipality , which became part of the Kerteminde municipality.
