Kræmmerne i Kædeby
Eccentric island flea-market on Langeland, where farm buildings brim with kitsch, curios and second-hand treasures in a relaxed rural setting.
Kræmmerne i Kædeby is a sprawling, delightfully eccentric flea-market-style emporium on Langeland, housed in old farm buildings at Vestergårdsvej 3 in the small village of Kædeby. Inside, you wander through room after room of second-hand treasures, curios, kitsch decor and seasonal oddities – famously including an entire space dedicated to Christmas gnomes. It is part vintage hunt, part local institution, and a fun rainy-day diversion for families and bargain seekers exploring southern Langeland.

Local tips
- Plan your visit for a Saturday or Sunday between 10:00 and 16:00, or during Danish school holidays, when opening hours are most reliable.
- Bring cash or a widely accepted payment card, as smaller rural shops sometimes have limited payment options or connectivity issues.
- Allow at least an hour to wander; the market is more extensive than it looks from the outside, with many small rooms and corners.
- If you are searching for something specific, take photos of potential items and measure sizes; returns and exchanges can be limited for second-hand goods.
- Visit earlier in the day for a quieter experience, making it easier to browse fragile items with children in tow.

Discover more about Kræmmerne i Kædeby
A quirky treasure trove in rural Langeland
Kræmmerne i Kædeby sits in the countryside village of Kædeby on Langeland, in buildings that feel more like a farm than a conventional shopping mall. Once inside, the atmosphere changes from quiet fields to packed shelves, tables and corners overflowing with objects. It is less a single shop and more a maze-like market under one roof, where you move between rooms that each have their own character and theme. The setting is very local: low buildings, simple interiors and a relaxed, slightly chaotic order that suits the word "kræmmer" – an old term for a trader dealing in many different small goods. This makes the place feel rooted in Danish market traditions, even as it leans into playful, over-the-top displays.From everyday bargains to rooms of pure kitsch
One of the joys of Kræmmerne i Kædeby is the sheer range of things you can encounter. Racks of clothes share space with old glassware, ceramics, furniture, lamps, toys, books and household items. You might find a mid-century coffee pot next to a stack of vinyl records or a pile of vintage enamel signs. Some sections feel like a classic second-hand store, where you browse carefully to spot a useful item or a nostalgic object from childhood. Then there are the more theatrical corners. The market is known for embracing kitsch with enthusiasm, including an entire room devoted to Christmas gnomes and festive decorations that feels almost surreal when visited outside the holiday season. Other displays mix colours, textures and themes in ways that are deliberately humorous, turning the browsing experience into a kind of low-key exhibition of everyday objects and oddities.Slow browsing, surprises and local character
Visiting Kræmmerne i Kædeby is less about ticking items off a list and more about letting yourself wander. The layout encourages slow exploration: narrow passages, small side rooms and corners that only appear when you think you have seen everything. It can be surprisingly easy to lose track of time as you sift through boxes, leaf through old books or compare retro lamps. Because so much of the stock comes from different sources and is constantly changing, every visit holds the possibility of new finds. This sense of unpredictability is part of the charm. You never quite know whether you will leave with a practical kitchen bowl, a quirky souvenir for your shelf or nothing more than a mental snapshot of some wonderfully strange display.A relaxed stop for families and holidaymakers
Kræmmerne i Kædeby fits naturally into a day of exploring Langeland. Many visitors are on holiday in the area and drop by between beach trips, bike rides and sightseeing. Children often enjoy the more colourful and playful rooms, and there is enough open floor space in most areas for families to move at their own pace, even if you need to keep an eye on small hands around fragile items. The mood is casual and unpretentious. Browsing is welcomed, and you are free to take your time. Prices are generally budget-friendly by design, reflecting the second-hand character of the place, and haggling is not a central part of the experience. Instead, the focus is on the pleasure of discovering something unexpected in an unlikely corner.Seasonal rhythms and island atmosphere
Like much on Langeland, Kræmmerne i Kædeby follows a seasonal rhythm. Opening hours are concentrated on weekends and school holidays, when there are more people on the island and the relaxed holiday atmosphere peaks. On a summer day the contrast between the bright fields outside and the densely packed interior adds to the feeling that you have stepped into a different little world. Even if you leave empty-handed, the visit offers a glimpse into a distinctly Danish style of flea-market culture in a rural island setting. The combination of practical second-hand shopping, tongue-in-cheek kitsch and the slow pace of Langeland life makes Kræmmerne i Kædeby a memorable, slightly offbeat stop on a tour of the island.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
