Landmarks
Museum
The Ringe Museum is the only existing museum in the town and is a vast part of its cultural history.[3]
In 1704, the building was constructed as a school, with many improvements and adjustments being made in 1737.[3] The museum is run by Midtfyns Museumsforening and is funded by Faaborg-Midtfyn Kommune, who owns the building itself.[3]
The museum has two interiors (bedroom and living room), an extensive array of historical weaponry and a broad collection of tools representing numerous crafts.[3] It hosts many exhibitions often, showcasing the museum's collection.[3]
Church
The town is home to the Ringe Church, which was constructed around the year 1200.[4] The church itself has an armory, altar, pulpit, baptismal font, burial chapel, an organ, a broad set of art, and memorial plaques and stones.[4] Today, it is home to many activities, such as musical performances, wedding parades, and baptisms.[4]
The church tower is under renovation since 25 April 2021.[5]
Lake
The Ringe Sø is a popular attraction in the town.[6] It is a shallow lake home to numerous species, such as the Red-necked grebe, Eurasian coot, Common moorhen, Mallard, and Greylag goose.[6]
After the last glacial period ended, a glacier from Munen melted and formed the lake.[6]
