Faaborg is a city in central Denmark, located in Faaborg municipality on the island of Funen.
Faaborg is first mentioned in a document, located in the national archive in Paris, dated June 25, 1229. It is a gift document that gives Faaborg to Valdemar II of Denmark's daughter in law, as a morning present. It is mentioned as a castle, so it must have existed before this date. However the date has been used as the birth date of Faaborg and thus the city could celebrate its 775 birthday in 2004.
