Perched atop Kirkebakken in Egil Fischer's Ferieby, the Mindesten for Egil Fischer stands as a tribute to the architect's pioneering vision. In the early 20th century, Egil Fischer (1878–1963) recognized the potential of the Mols Bjerge region and embarked on creating Denmark's first planned holiday village. His design encompassed charming summer houses, green spaces, and communal facilities, all harmoniously integrated with the natural surroundings. While not all elements of his ambitious plan were realized—most notably, the church intended for Kirkebakken—the memorial stone with Fischer's bust now occupies this spot, commemorating his contributions. Visitors to the site are rewarded with sweeping views of the landscape, reflecting the beauty that inspired Fischer's designs. The area retains approximately 200 houses of significant preservation value, including eight original structures designed and built by Fischer himself. A visit to the Mindesten offers not only a glimpse into architectural history but also an appreciation for the foresight that shaped this unique community.
