Saint Nicholas Church
Also known as: Sankt Nicolaj Kirke
Lutheran church in Bogense, Denmark. Saint Nicholas Church, also Bogense Church, is located in the harbour town of Bogense on the Danish island of Funen. It was built in 1406 on the remains of a 12th-century Romanesque church. In the mid-15th century, various additions were made including the tower which unusually is at the east end of the church. The tall spire served as a landmark for shipping. Comprehensive restoration work was completed in 2010. Artefacts include a 16th-century altar, a 13th-century baptismal font, and a carved pulpit from 1604.[1]

Bogense Municipality
Also known as: Bogense Kommune
Until January 1, 2007, Bogense municipality was a municipality in Funen County on the north coast of the island of Funen in central Denmark. The municipality included a number of small islands in the Kattegat off its northwest coast, and covered an area of 102 km². It had a total population of 6,448. Its mayor was Arne Kruse, a member of the Social Democrats political party. The main town and the site of its municipal council was the town of Bogense.
Bogense municipality ceased to exist as the result of Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007), merging with former Søndersø and Otterup municipalities to form the new Nordfyn municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 451 km² and a total population of 28,655 (2005). The new municipality belongs to the Region of Southern Denmark ("South Denmark Region").
It was originally planned that the new entity should have continued the name Bogense but this decision was overturned by a local referendum in June 2006. This result was later approved by Danish Interior Minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen.[2]
