In the olden days

You can be a time-traveller on Zealand, Møn and Lolland-Falster. For instance, experience everyday life in the 18th century in Andelslandsbyen Nyvang; mint your own coins at Danmarks Borgcenter (castle centre) or see the historic houses of Kjøge Miniby.

In Andelslandsbyen Nyvang, you can experience the period of the Danish co-operatives from 1870–1950. Visit the old co-operative dairy, which still produces butter and smoked cheese. Hear the clang of iron as the story-telling blacksmith wields his hammer. When you feel peckish, try something delicious from your great-grandmother’s time at Madam Blå’s tea garden.
