Standing unexpectedly in a traffic roundabout on the edge of Nykøbing Falster, this full-size medieval trebuchet (blide) is a quirky landmark and a nod to the region’s fascination with siege technology. The wooden war machine, related to those demonstrated at the nearby Medieval Center, rises above the roadway like a ghost from the Middle Ages, turning an otherwise ordinary junction into a vivid reminder of how towns were once defended and attacked.

From the top, Guldborgsund, the red roofs of the old town and the flat fields of Falster unfold in a full 360‑degree panorama, while a small café at the base makes it a relaxed cultural stop close to the historic center.

Bjørnebrønden, the Bear Fountain, anchors the main square of Nykøbing Falster with a striking granite bear poised above a circular well. Created by sculptor Mogens Bøggild and architect Kaare Klint, the 1939 fountain commemorates both the town’s 400th anniversary as a market town and Tsar Peter the Great’s visit in 1716. Encircled by benches and framed by the historic facades of Torvet, it serves as a compact open-air monument where local history, Danish design and everyday town life meet.
