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