Parish and churches

Kerteminde is part of the Kerteminde-Drigstrup Parish, which was created on December 1, 2013 by merging the two parishes. Kerteminde Parish was quite small,[3] so in the 1920s Kerteminde grew beyond the parish boundaries and gained a suburb on Over Kærby Mark in Drigstrup Parish.

Kerteminde's parish church, Sankt Laurentii Kirke, is located in the town. The town is also home to Emmauskirken, which is owned by Kerteminde-Dalby Valgmenighed, which also has Bethlehemskirken in Dalby.

School facilities

Kerteminde Byskole has 466 students in grades 0-9.[4] Kerteminde Efterskole is a Grundtvig-Kold school with 23 employees.[5]

The town has 4 daycare centers: Balders Hus with daycare and kindergarten for 78 children, Fjordvang kindergarten for 53 children, Nymarken kindergarten for 62 children and the private daycare and kindergarten Mølleløkken for 51 children.[6]

Kerteminde Idrætscenter consists of two sports halls at the town's stadium.

Etymology

The town's name (1412 Kiertheminde, 1430 Kirtimynnæ) comes from the old name for Kerteminde Fjord, Kirta, followed by the Old Danish word minni, 'mynni 'mouth'.[7]
