the old house
Tucked into the cobbled lane of Kirkestræde in Køge’s old town, **The Old House** at no. 20 is one of Denmark’s oldest dated half‑timbered houses, built in 1527. Once a modest rental dwelling known as a “våning”, it narrowly escaped demolition in the early 1900s and was painstakingly restored. Today the low, crooked timber frame, red monk‑and‑nun roof tiles and deep fieldstone cellar form part of Køge Library, housing a cosy children’s section and a characterful vaulted basement used for events.

Surrounded by rolling lawns, old trees and glimpses of the Baltic, it offers a quiet, atmospheric stop while exploring Liselund’s gardens and nearby Møns Klint.
